Workplace changes are needed to achieve an economic win-win
While some employers are already making headway in creating age-friendly workplaces, increased education and uptake of inclusive practices is needed to keep more of us in work for longer.
People benefit from the opportunity to plan for their future before they are due to retire.
Everyday pressures can make it hard to think properly about the future. A mid-life MOT gives people a chance to plan ahead.
Pre-retirement support usually comes too late and does not go far enough. Really effective mid-life support covers more than just pensions and finances – it gives people space to reflect on what they want from the future, and think about their aspirations for their careers and the rest of their lives.
Employers who provide good mid-life planning find it increases productivity, reduces sickness absence, encourages people to learn and develop and means staff stay for longer.
