| UK employers now have
access to a free tool that allows them to
assess current and future workforce needs.
The Age and Employment Network (TAEN), an
independent not-for-profit organisation
that works in partnership with the charity
Age UK, has launched a UK version of the
tool, which has been used successfully in
the United States.
The Workforce Assessment Tool enables
managers to assess how an ageing workforce
will affect their business and how to
attract and retain talent from all age
groups.
Each user receives a confidential
report suggesting measures they could take
to create an age-friendly workplace.
Chris Ball, chief executive of TAEN,
said: “This tool will help employers
relate their workplace policies and
practices to salient issues facing
organisations and the economy, including
demographic change, workforce ageing and
shrinkage, and risks arising from skills
shortages.”
