Wanted: Older workers. Wanted: Employers thinking outside the square

Posted by Catriona in Commentary on October 14th, 2009

There’s nothing new in this excellent story from Radio National this morning, but we do give a bit of a ‘SageCo sigh’ at the content. Why? The demographic make up of our workforce is changing rapidly. Employers need to think a little outside the box and redesign roles that suit mature employees who are keen to keep working, but not the way they are working now. It can be done. It requires creative thinking and conversations you’ve not had before, but this ‘demographic bomb’ is not insurmountable. Hear, hear to the CFMEU for putting it on the agenda.
