Age-friendly work­ing life

Age-friendly work­ing life involves many inter­est­ing and also chal­len­ging ques­tions and points of view. This theme can, for example, be examined from the employee’s, employer’s or workplace’s view­point. What, from the employ­ee’s view­point, is age-friendly work­ing life like, one in which you can and will con­tin­ue until retire­ment age or even beyond? What kind of man­age­ment is needed in age-friendly work­ing life?  How can older work­ers’ well-being and com­pet­ence be safe­guarded amidst trans­form­a­tions of work­ing life, includ­ing digit­al­isa­tion? 

These are some of the themes we dis­cuss in this sec­tion, which also describes the exper­i­ments and devel­op­ment pro­jects related to them. The aim is that we can togeth­er find solu­tions for devel­op­ing age-friendly work­ing life and respond­ing to such chal­lenges as the attrac­tion of work­ing life and employ­ee reten­tion. Join in on the dis­cus­sion!
