Heres a no-brainer:
The population of the UK is ageing.
Simultaneously there is a shortage of talent in many sectors.
New anti-discriminatory UK Age Regulations were introduced in October 2006.

As the baby boomer generation moves towards retirement there are insufficient younger workers to take their place, let alone satisfy the requirements of a growing economy for more labour and different skills. Couple that with the regulatory imperative for UK Age Regulations compliance and it seems pretty obvious that tapping into”rather than shying away from”the older worker talent pool is the smarter strategy.

Weve partnered with The Age and Employment Network (TAEN) on a paper that digs deeper into these issues and provides practical strategies for organisations to recruit older talent into their workforce.

With the wave of broader demographic changes, the strategy of hiring older workers is valuable for many developed nations besides the UK.
