In common with other developed countries, Australia can anticipate that both its population and its workforce will experience a substantial ageing effect over the next 25 years. Both the average age of the workforce and the proportion of employees aged 50 and over are expected to rise. This book addresses the necessity for human resource management practice to reflect the ageing of the workforce and to develop and apply programs which maximise the contribution of older staff, who will need to operate and succeed in a climate of rapid change characterised by a stronger emphasis on performance.
Although aimed at human resource managers to assist them to recognise what implications the ageing will have for their people management practices, the book has something important to offer to all those with responsibility for managing others.
