Employers must plan for people living and working longer
A recent survey suggests that the mindset amongst the Irish workforce is changing when it comes to career longevity and anticipated retirement ages.
According to William Fry’s 2019 'Age in the Workplace Employment Report', 61% of those surveyed believe that they will have to work beyond the age of 66, and 68% believe there is no upper age limit for customer-facing jobs. Conversely, only 32% of those surveyed would actually like to work beyond the age of 66, while 61% of respondents believe that older workers are inhibited by technological change.
