In today's rapidly changing business landscape, organisations must adapt to the evolving needs and expectations of their workforce. With the increasing longevity and varied skillsets of older workers, there is a growing recognition of the value they bring to businesses. To effectively tap into this valuable talent pool, it is crucial for organisations to create an inclusive and supportive multigenerational workplace.

This session aims to equip participants with the knowledge and strategies necessary to develop an attractive Employee Value Proposition (EVP) tailored specifically for older workers. By understanding the unique needs, motivations, and aspirations of older employees, businesses can design a compelling EVP that aligns with their goals and fosters a mutually beneficial working relationship.
