Another study about the aging workforce came out from Ernst and Young. 70% of the survey respondents have a title of VP of HR or above.
The traditional programs to counter the effect of the aging workforce are all mentioned: hire retirees as consultants, phased-in retirement, mentoring,
But what attracted our attention is the chart below: The Human Capital issues of most concern: Availability of talent (38%) and Talent management (29%) are the 2 top issues. This is especially interesting in contrast to compensation and benefits programs (7%). Obviously, if you dont change location, offshore or outsource, there is little you can do about availability of talent. So your focus should be on Talent Management!
