Webinar: Is Your Workplace Age Friendly?
Strategies to Retain the Wisdom of Your Older Workers
November 13, 2024
1:00 pm ET

It’s no secret that our population is aging, with immediate implications for workforce management. Data from Canada’s 2021 census reveals more than one out of every five persons of working age is between the ages of 55 and 64. And, there are more people in the 55 to 64 age group, than in the early-career age group of 15 to 24.

In a 2023 global survey, more than half of CEOs indicated the labour shortage is the biggest challenge their organizations face. Yet despite the current labour force challenges, less than half of employers include age in their DEI programs. Most workplaces have failed to implement a strategy to fully leverage the experience and wisdom of their older workers.

Join this session to learn why your organization should be concerned about an aging workforce, how older workers can be part of the solution, and strategies to make your workplace age friendly.
