The workforce in the UK is changing fast and you need to act now to unlock the opportunities of multigeneration teams. By 2030 half of all adults in the UK will be over 50. Understanding the challenges and opportunities of an ageing population is vital if we all want to create productive, innovative and inclusive multi-generational teams as we all lead longer working lives.
Age Cymru wants to encourage and support businesses to build age-friendly workplaces where older employees can thrive and have formed a partnership with Business in the Community (Cymru) to support employers through the Age at Work programme.
Under the key strands of retention, retraining and recruitment, Age at Work will work with employers to develop a more age-inclusive workplace and understand the benefits of an intergenerational workforce. It will also support older workers (aged 50 plus) who want to remain in work. It highlights the need to begin preparation for work in later life and retirement at an earlier stage.
Through Age at Work, employers have access to a range of free toolkits, networks and support to help inform the action they take to create a workplace that’s better for mature employees and will benefit employees of all ages.
There are mid-career review webinars covering career, health, wellbeing and finance which run from August 2022 to December 2022.
