We are currently experiencing more employees continuing to work after the traditional retirement age of 65—Many are seeking ways to contribute and remain vital members of an organization. A company culture that honors experience will benefit older workers and encourage them to stay. Research demonstrates companies can increase their retention of mature workers by offering flexible work arrangements, providing training and development opportunities, and facilitating knowledge management and transfer. Join thought leaders for a conversation on how your company can engage and embrace mature workers.
