Aging
workforce
benefits
There
is
much
focus
on
the
millennial
workforce
and
the
changes
it
is
bringing
about
.
However
,
it
is
not
the
only
group
providing
in
the
markets
,
nor
it
should
be
.
The
number
of
people
aged
over
65
in
England
will
grow
50
percent
by
2030
?
according
to
the
Department
for
Work
and
Pensions
.
The
aging
workforce
is
large
,
but
more
importantly
,
it
is
incredibly
valuable
.
Often
,
are
made
as
to
trainability
and
health
regarding
the
older
generation
.
But
some
of
us
have
seen
our
82
-
year
-
old
grandmothers
learn
how
to
use
their
new
tablets
and
embrace
technology
,
demonstrating
that
age
most
certainly
does
not
invalidity
of
mind
.
The
younger
generation
entering
the
workforce
has
much
to
learn
from
the
skills
,
experience
,
and
perspective
of
those
already
contributing
.
It
is
in
fact
,
an
important
lesson
for
millennials
to
learn
.
So
much
focus
has
been
given
to
adjusting
to
the
new
needs
of
the
emerging
workforce
,
so
why
wouldn't
the
same
consideration
be
given
to
those
who
have
built
the
current
markets
for
them
?
Corporations
need
to
be
alert
to
not
exclude
experienced
workers
based
only
on
their
age
and
proximity
to
retirement
.
Life
expectancy
is
set
to
grow
in
coming
years
,
heading
us
toward
a
situation
where
five
generations
could
potentially
be
working
together
.
Yes
,
the
younger
generations
bring
fresh
and
up
to
date
tech
skills
,
but
there
is
value
in
the
oldest
one
,
and
companies
do
well
to
it
.
Teaming
up
younger
and
older
personnel
draws
on
everyone's
strengths
,
simultaneously
encouraging
the
sharing
of
skills
.
Older
employees
find
the
best
facets
of
new
tech
to
incorporate
into
their
positions
,
and
younger
ones
observe
and
hopefully
duplicate
those
social
,
business
,
and
marketing
skills
that
sometimes
are
best
by
experience
alone
.
Mentoring
schemes
can
also
help
counter
possible
from
either
direction
.
The
tagline
"
Experience
never
gets
old
,
"
from
the
movie
The
Intern
is
quite
significant
.
That
movie
establishes
that
learning
can
be
had
on
both
sides
of
the
age
coin
.
It's
well
worth
to
watch
this
movie
in
order
to
gain
some
perspective
on
the
matter
.
Undeniably
,
different
generations
have
different
needs
.
By
retaining
talented
employees
and
helping
them
keep
their
skills
up
to
date
,
recruitment
and
training
costs
are
reduced
.
Allowing
mature
team
members
wind
down
to
retirement
gradually
while
enjoying
a
fulfilling
working
life
creates
a
positive
approach
to
the
company
.
New
talent
entering
the
company
will
observe
the
loyalty
that
older
ones
hopefully
feel
and
demonstrate
,
and
it
will
affect
how
they
view
the
company
themselves
.
It
will
create
a
positive
,
contented
work
environment
.
And
best
of
all
and
not
to
be
ignored
,
satisfied
workers
boost
productivity
.
The
aging
employee
may
have
different
needs
to
be
attended
to
,
such
as
allowances
for
being
a
caregiver
for
relatives
.
Employers
do
well
to
acknowledge
and
adjust
to
changing
needs
.
Younger
workers
want
flexibility
with
the
goal
of
work
-
life
balance
,
maybe
having
their
focus
on
their
children
or
personal
hobbies
.
Basic
humanity
requires
that
we
recognize
that
the
flexibility
needed
by
older
ones
is
equally
valid
.
They
also
need
and
deserve
a
healthy
work
-
life
balance
,
regardless
of
what
that
may
entail
.
The
whole
workforce
deserves
to
be
considered
in
company
policies
and
programs
,
not
out
of
,
but
out
of
respect
for
their
genuine
value
and
contributions
.
