Survival will depend on redefining retirement and transforming management and human resources practices to attract, accommodate, and retain workers of all ages and backgrounds. Based on decades of groundbreaking research and study, the authors present innovative and actionable management techniques for leveraging the knowledge of mature workers, re-engaging disillusioned mid-career workers, and attracting and retaining talented younger workers. This timely book helps organizations sustain their competitive edge in tomorrow's inevitably tighter labor markets.
