Welcome to our latest Coffee Break in which we look at the latest legal and practical developments impacting employers
Understanding an ageing workforce
The working-age population in the UK is shrinking, while the over 60s age group is growing. This is leading to a serious shortfall in skilled workers and increasingly employers are strengthening their bonds with employees aged 55 and over, so they stay in the business for longer. Our recent survey, produced by Censuswide, which considered benefits, skills and training, retirement, pension income and more, found that almost 100% of those surveyed could be encouraged in at least one way by their employer to work longer.
We will be exploring the learnings from this survey with a panel of experts including Lyndsey Simpson, founder and CEO of 55/Redefined, and Gavin Parker, industry director of the business and professional services team at Barclays, at an event in our London office from 16:45 to 18:30- on 4 July. We look forward to sharing the results with you and hope you will join us for what promises to be a lively discussion. You can find out more about the report and register interest in the event.
