What Do Workers Want?
Opportunity
Flexibility
Ongoing Training
Competitive Compensation
Communication
Today’s changing demographics have set in motion lasting workforce change
Workers plan to work longer (with planned breaks) into foreseeable future
Resulting in an ongoing stream of older workers moving into, out of and within the workforce
Ageism in employment isn’t new or hidden; it is habitual. Ignore the habit.
Our longer lives make it unrealistic to assume that a role adopted at age 24 or 34 will meet your financial, intellectual or experience needs for 30-40 years
Millennial workers are changing jobs every 2.5 years; Gen X are staying for 5-6 years. The entire world of work has changed since workers 50+ entered the workforce.
Every worker and, now, particularly those 50+ is tasked with taking stock in their career, regularly.
Can you find the job you want?
YES.
And, there may be hurdles but they can be overcome.

How we work
How to move to a new job or career
