This study, by the International Longevity Centre (ILC-UK) and the CIPD, brings to light the challenges the UK faces over the coming two decades. As a result, the CIPD is urging organisations across all sectors to take steps now to reap the benefits of a more age diverse workforce, rather than fall victim to a mass exodus of skills as their workforce ages.]]> 2016-07-26 11:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/Librarycat/Box_Set_Age_Identity/wish/117240475 CROW - Centre for Research into the Older Workforce Librarycat https://padlet.com/Librarycat/Box_Set_Age_Identity/wish/117240476 CROW studies the issues relating to the ageing workforce, in the UK and beyond.

The Employer Toolkit is a new interactive resource, offering guidance for managers of older workers.  The information available details how employers can better manage their workforce, and by doing so, how they can capitalise on the UK’s changing demographics.

The Toolkit includes information relating to the 3 ‘R’s highlighted by the Government’s former Business Champion for Older Workers, Dr Ros Altmann CBE. These are retaining, retraining and recruiting older workers. Information is also included on a range of other topics including legal requirements, knowledge management and flexible working arrangements.

Guidance is currently available on a general level, and further information will be released to reflect the realities of working within different sectors.
