Tackling the great mismatch: Retaining talent at all ages
Redefining the Journey: In economically uncertain times, older workers need more options
Helping people aged 50-64 become economically active again is a win for everyone. The first step in making this happen is to develop more age-inclusive labour practices: if older workers can make the choices that are right for them, people of all ages can thrive.

Attitudes to work are changing for many people.
Working beyond traditional retirement age is an aspiration for many, often because people enjoy their work and want to continue and sometimes because people need to continue working to make ends meet. We captured Jan's story in the video below.

The transversal skills you mention are often skills that older workers have in abundance based on their work and life experience. Finding ways to encourage this group of workers to stay in the labour market is a win win both for employers and employees. It would be interesting to see how other language in job adverts that may put off older workers from applying like: 'high energy', 'dynamic' and in so doing prevent companies from accessing the skills they need.
