| Annotation | This publication makes the case for businesses to retain, retrain and recruit older workers. Using case studies, it presents the benefits of a fuller working life, whereby individuals should be encouraged to "rethink, refresh and reinvest". It explains how working longer can improve people's health and well-being, and bring to businesses the benefits of having a multi-generational workforce. It sets out some new recommendations from businesses to support older workers to remain in the workforce, and to help employers retain, retrain and recruit older workers so they have fuller working lives. The Government is taking action to support older workers as follows: legislation such as removal of the Default Retirement Age and extending rights to request flexible working (though the State Pension Age, SPA, will be reviewed at a later date); empowering change through others and developing the evidence based case for action; supporting those who need more help (such as carers); reforming the adult skills system; and improving the Jobcentre Plus offer for older workers.
