Korn Ferry reports that by 2030, 85 million jobs will go unfilled due to talent shortages resulting from shifting population demographics. Leaders are pressed to embrace new talent management strategies to ensure talent sustainability.
Put simply, employers must seek talent from across the age spectrum to fill the job gaps expected to increase expeditiously over the next six years.
Ageing is one defining characteristic that we all share. Yet global work cultures fail to leverage the longevity advantage–people are living longer, healthier lives and therefore want (and often need) to work longer.
The best way to prepare for labor shortages is to reshape the workplace culture to value workers of all ages.
