Sometimes we just use this blog to let you know about ‘stuff’ that may support your work in ageing workforce management. Here are five snippets for you to take on board.

1. Baker McKenzie are hosting a lunch entitled “Workforce Management to increase Adaptability for Organisational Change and Career Transition”. Sageco are the guest speakers along with a couple of organisations who have been proactive in career management. Thursday 19 July at 12 noon in the Sydney CBD. If you would like to attend, contact us. Seats are limited.
2. Check out the recent comprehensive research from the office of the Age Discrimination Commissioner – Working past our 60s: Reforming laws and policies for the older worker. An excellent foundation for your age management plan.
3. In a similar vein, Diversity Council of Australia have provided a submission to the  Australian Law Reform Commission Issues Paper: Grey Areas – Age Barriers to Work in Commonwealth Laws
4. Alison is chairing a two day conference - Retaining an ageing workforce in September. There is an excellent line up of speakers. Another good opportunity to get insights for your age management plan.
5. And we’re just thrilled to get this sort of feedback from participants in Envisage Online:

I think it is a practical wake up call to take things in hand and start some planning for retirement. Sometimes you can be paralyzed by thinking you have left things too late, but when you start to change things, you find that you haven’t. I often read the money section of the Age newspaper but never acted on any advice from that. I have acted on recommendations from Envisage.
