With people living and working longer than ever before, employers must balance the needs of workers from four or five different age groups so you can be truly successful.
AARP, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the World Economic Forum have created a new interactive online platform,Growing with Age, to give employers the necessary tools, research and resources to help them develop better practices to build their multigenerational workforce.
“As people live, learn and earn longer, AARP is committed to working with businesses to help them reap the benefits of a multigenerational workforce where people can continue to work for as long as they need or want to, said AARP CEO Jo Ann Jenkins when the platform debuted.
We are thrilled to launch this new digital platform with the World Economic Forum and OECD to continue helping employees and businesses thrive through workforces that maximize diversity, equity and inclusion.”
The online platform, launched Dec. 16, 2020, is a continuation of the work of theLiving, Learning, and Earning Longer Collaborative Initiative.
The initiative is comprised of more than 50 global employers, representing over 2 million employees and more than $1 trillion in annual revenue.
On May 4, 2021, the Growing with Age platform received honorable mention recognition in the Politics and Policy category of Fast Companys annual global innovation awards.
AARP is honored that our Growing with Age platform has been recognized as a Fast Company 2021 World Changing Idea, says AARP Executive Vice President and Chief Public Policy Officer Debra Whitman.
We are working with employers across the globe to help them embrace age diversity and capture the benefits of a multigenerational workforce.
