Ageing Workforce Impact - Implications and Trends for 2010 - 2020

The HR Coach Research Institute is pleased to announce the release of a highly anticipated research report, The Ageing Workforce Impact; Implications and Trends for 2010-2020.

The HR Coach Research Institute commissioned a research project in conjunction with Dr. Marion Norton of Workforce Futures Australia to explore demographic trends in relation to the ageing population and potential ramifications on the Australian workforce.   

The report will be released in January 2010 and is timely as Queensland Premiere, Anna Bligh released details of a 7 person panel created to advise the Government. The panel includes scientist Tim Flannery, demographer Bernard Salt, Heather Ridout from the Australian Industry Group, Ian Lowe from the Australian Conservation Foundation and architect Michael Rayner.

The panel will prepare advice in preparation for a summit to be held in March 2010.

Louise Broekman, Managing Director of HR Coach applauded the government’s initiative in regards to the assembly of the panel. “It is crucial that we don’t let short sightedness distract us from the bigger issues facing Australian Business “commented Louise. “The economic rebound and looming war for talent predicted for 2010 are immediate concerns for businesses, however, the ageing workforce will have a lasting impact and will affect the Australian economy for years to come.”   

The HR Coach Research Institute has prepared a white paper outlining the seriousness of the issue and the potential opportunity the ageing workforce presents. To request and copy of Ageing Workforce Impact; Implications and Trends for 2010-2020 White Paper please click here.
