Hong Kong has one of the oldest populations in the world. At the same time, many employers face chronic skills shortages. More and more employers are reconciling this by recruiting and retaining people of all ages, including, naturally, the older generation. Equipped with unique talents, skills and experiences, older workers are proving to be valuable assets to many businesses as they mentor younger staff, share their knowledge and contribute to special projects. Indeed, some would even consider delaying retirement if offered the chance to work more flexibly or to take on new roles in the hopes of continuing a fulfilling life.

To further explore why and how employing older workers makes business sense, Community Business will host a panel discussion entitled “The Business Case for Multi-Generational Workforces” on 26 June 2018, from 12:30 – 2:30pm at Thomson Reuters, 18/F, ICBC Tower, 3 Garden Road, Central. EOC Chairperson, Professor Alfred CHAN Cheung-ming will be present to deliver a keynote speech, along with other guest speakers who will share best practices for employers looking for ways to mobilise talent, drawing on case studies from Hong Kong, Asia and Europe.

The event will be conducted in English. Registration is required but free of charge. Light lunch will be provided.
