Age UK Bristol: Helping Workers Plan for the Future

* Part of a series of 3 virtual workshops with Age UK Bristol and the Good Employment Charter *

Demographic ageing means longer working lives. Unfortunately, the proportion of people retiring earlier than they want or can afford to shows that employer support for older people is lacking. Putting practices in place to support your staff’s health and wellbeing as they age, and to help them consider their career development, support needs, and retirement plans, is a win-win: employers can reduce skills shortages and staff turnover, and workers can enjoy more fulfilling roles that suit their abilities and interests until their chosen retirement date.

You will learn:

• Why mid-life support is important

• How to facilitate career progression and development for older staff

• Key reasons for early retirement or resignation in mid-life, and how to avoid them
