Description

Create opportunities to engage mature workers and manage challenges

Do you know that around a quarter of New Zealand’s workforce are aged 55 or over? The proportion of the workforce in New Zealand aged 65 and over is expected to increase to around 13% within the next 20 years.

This exceptionally high level of mature aged workers in our workforce, presents both opportunities and challenges for organisations of all sizes.

If we don’t retain or make the most of our ageing workforce, we will face a decreased labour supply and a skill shortage in more than 150 professions, including engineering, hospitality, education, and health care.

While most New Zealand organisations regard our ageing workforce as an important priority, very few have made any change..

What can you do to ensure that you don’t face a skill shortage in your organisation? How can you best engage and manage our mature workers?
