Feed Your Mind How to Facilitate a Meeting for Optimum Outcomes with Peter James

If 45% of your workforce over 60 retired in the next 3 years – would that be a problem?

Would you know?

Working with people moving toward retirement age in the Changing Gears program around Australia delivers this statistic, it may even surprise you to learn that 63% of people over 60 are looking to retire in the next 5 years.

If you’re in resource management, and you have an aging workforce, and your workforce has specialist skills or would be hard to replace, you need to be thinking about these statistics now.

The Changing Gears program at its heart informs employees moving to retirement age about the facts and reality of retirement (no sales pitch).  But equally it reopens the conversation with HR and Management about retirement intentions, and what the business or organisation might do to support people extend their employment or better understand their intentions for leaving the business.  This allows for resource planning into the future.  Given the resource poor environment and the high competition for quality people resources, you can’t afford to ignore it any longer.

Give us a call or email us, and we’ll send you our free white paper on transitioning to retirement from the businesses perspective.
