Mature Workforce Challenges

Europe's demographics are creating a new competitive environment. As over 30 percent of the highly skilled workers in Europe will enter the age of retirement within the next 10 years, an increasing challenge for companies will be to enhance the capabilities of maturing workers while maintaining the benefits of their experience, knowledge and networks. Organizations must consider institutional changes now to retain the talents, energies and knowledge of workers poised to retire.

The Conference Board invites you to join the newly forming Mature Workforce Challenges Research Working Group — Europe to respond to these changes and identify ways to create and adapt HR processes in your company to capitalise on the opportunities and minimize the risks of this new challenge. The Research Working Group will develop practical tools to help companies with major activities in Europe address the implications of an ageing workforce, including managing the transition to new population profiles; retaining a highly trained, motivated and efficient mature workforce; and adjusting organisational design and processes for all ages of the workforce. The group's aim will be to integrate strategies for successfully managing the maturing workforce into overall talent management.
