Understanding an Ageing Workforce Report

This report focuses on the implications of an ageing workforce, particularly in the context of the UK labor market. It outlines the findings from a survey conducted among 700 individuals aged 35-55 across various industry sectors, including Financial Services and Energy. The survey aimed to understand workers' retirement plans, financial confidence, and the skills they believe they need to develop as they approach retirement. Key findings indicate that many workers expect to retire at around age 62, with a significant portion expressing a desire for more flexible working conditions and additional training opportunities. The report also discusses the importance of retaining experienced employees and adapting workplace policies to accommodate the needs of older workers. It emphasizes the necessity for employers to consider the expectations of their ageing workforce and to view this demographic shift as an opportunity to strengthen their organizations. The methodology section details the survey process and participant demographics.
