When we know that losing a job when an employee is over 50 is likely to lead to long-term unemployment, read here the latest report from DwP and Centre for Ageing Better, and around 1 million people aged between 50 and state pension age are not working, but would like to work, is it not time for action instead of more reports and task forces formed around this problem? Wykeman Limited supports business and individuals in making sure an ageing workforce is an asset to a company when enough attention is given to their career plan, skills, knowledge and well-being. When people are out of work the focus needs to be on building up their self-esteem, perhaps looking at senior apprenticeships or retraining and up-skilling where appropriate.
