Osborne Clarke | Future of Work – Understanding an Ageing Workforce

Osborne Clarke recently launched a report on an Ageing Workforce. The report was produced by Censuswide, who surveyed 700 employees aged between 35-55 and working in different industry sectors across the UK. It explores areas including benefits, pensions, retirement planning, training and skill sets and offers employers a valuable tool in their planning for incentivizing, supporting and retaining older employees.

The ability to work on a flexible basis and from different locations (including overseas) continues to be an important benefit, and one which could encourage employees to work longer before retirement.

The survey highlights workers’ aspirations as they approach retirement and how their priorities will change. A combination of people having healthier lifestyles, living longer and, in many cases, the financial need to continue earning will often lead to an older workforce wanting or needing to stay in work. Demographic changes mean the retention of experienced and senior talent should be front of mind for any HR professional.
