50+
Understanding, engaging and developing your older workforce

Hosted by UBS, London, EC2

Wednesday 29th September 2010, 9.30am – 4.00pm


Why attend this conference?

At a time when organisations have to do more with the resources they have, the return on talent is more important than ever. This, coupled with external drivers such as the changes to mandatory retirement age legislation, the aging population and the drop in numbers of young people entering the labour market, will fundamentally change the shape and makeup of the workforce. Employers need to re-examine recruitment and retention strategies and consider how to engage with, not just Gen Y, but with the generation of so-called older (50+) workers.

Delegates at this conference will hear why employers should ‘rebrand’ older workers and understand the business benefits which they bring. Speakers will examine how to:
• Meet the real career expectations of older workers
• Harness the business gains of employing older workers
• Understand the challenges and opportunities of intergenerational working
• Manage the increasing caring demands made on this ‘sandwich’ generation
