Many say that the reason a labor shortage is on the horizon is because of the aging population.  No one can deny that we’re all aging.  And as baby boomers reach traditional retirement age, many may make the decision to leave the workforce.  But according to AARP, nearly 70% of workers currently 45 to 74 plan to work in some capacity after retirement.

So employers take note:  Invest in this demographic!

What does that mean?

• Flexible work options
• Career opportunities
• Low- or no-stress work environment
• Training and development
• Fair, consistent age-neutral salary criteria

We’ll talk more about these in future posts.
