| Annotation | Findings are presented of research conducted by the Institute for Employment Studies (IES) on behalf of the Centre for Ageing Better into what workplace and job-related factors make employment fulfilling for older workers. This report has three main sections covering older workers' attitudes towards different aspects of work, the first being work content and what older workers value about their job roles and tasks. The second, work culture, outlines how older workers consider work fulfilling if certain behaviours, management styles and values are presented by employers. The third, workplace adjustments, offers practical steps that employers can take to make their workplaces more age-friendly. The report thus offers insights into both the attitudes of older workers and the implications for employers. It suggests what employers can do to support older workers, and that what older workers want is the first step in helping employers, policymakers and others to create age-friendly workplaces. IES conducted a review of the current literature on older workers; results are in a separate research methodology paper. (RH). |
