Abstract

The article discusses the importance of engaging a multigenerational workforce and provides five strategies for companies to become age-friendly employers. It highlights the shifts in workforce demographics due to increased longevity and population aging, leading to a diverse workforce with four to five generations. The strategies include cultivating lifelong learning, offering flexible work arrangements, supporting caregiving employees, facilitating longer working lives through flexible retirement options, and providing comprehensive health, welfare, and retirement benefits. The article emphasizes the benefits of adopting these practices for both employees and employers and warns of the risks of not embracing an age-friendly approach. [Extracted from the article]
