BABY BOOMER EXODUS

Workforce Planning Strategies

"To maintain our dynamic economy and to fill the jobs of the 21st century, we must make the most of the creative potential and productive capacity of this growing segment of our society."

Proclamation declaring National Older
Workers Employment Week (1998)

With 78 million baby boomers reaching retirement age in the next twenty years, organizations will be facing serious labor shortages. Although certain industries are already feeling the impact, the first big wave is expected to hit in 2010.

This baby boomer generation, born from 1946 to 1964, is the largest generation in American history. It is estimated that these boomers are turning 60 at the rate of one every 8 seconds. Denver is the baby boomer capital of America with the highest percentage of baby boomer residents of any U.S. city. One third of residents are boomers, surpassing the national average of 26.8%.

Will your organization be ready for these changes? Now is the time to plan for the potential impact of our changing workforce. Retention / recruitment will remain the biggest problem facing Human Resources for decades to come, and future success will depend on the ability of employers to attract the best and the brightest from the many different groups that comprise the workforce.

Join members of other organizations for a stimulating day sharing information, tips and strategies, past successes and future plans to position our organizations to move forward. Highlights include:

• The problems / challenges - how did we get here?
  
• Why organizations are resisting and delaying implementation of new strategies
  
• Misperceptions and assumptions about older workers
  
• Slowing down the retirement process
  
• Strategies and solutions - retention, recruitment, knowledge transfer
  
• Best practices - what others are doing
  
• Creating a strategic plan / formal task force to move your process forward
