Age matters : employing, motivating and managing older employees / Keren Smedley and Helen Whitten

Keren Smedley and Helen Whitten's Age Matters provides you with a comprehensive, innovative and positive approach to recent changes in the law in demography. The authors explain the advantages and disadvantages to the 2006 legislation and its effect on current retirement practices. Packed with statistics and perspectives on the ageing workforce (in the UK, EU and countries around the world), the book includes practical advice, models, exercises and training activities to help establish an appropriate response for your organization. It is those organizations who can look beyond the legislation to manage the value in their older workforce that will thrive. Use this book to understand the implications of demographic change and the employment law issues it raises; to help older employees identify, articulate and adapt to new ways of working; to enable both older and younger employees to work across the generations; and to built an age-inclusive culture. Covering virtually every human resources issue related to the ageing employment pool, this is a must-have resource for anyone invoved in human resources, employment planning, organizational development and training.
