 Still
Booming! Baby Boomers Retiring Later
Should Baby
Boomers just retire or go volunteer? For
economic and other reasons, people need and want to work well beyond age
65. A look at baby boomers in the work place.
What is a Baby Boomer?
Born between the years
1946 and 1964, during the tremendous “boom” in childbirths after WWII,
this group of individuals makes up 29% of the
U.S. population – and
other interesting descriptions.
The Power of Institutional
Knowledge
When Baby Boomers leave the workplace they not only take years of
experience with them, they take years of knowledge about the ins and
outs of the company, knowledge not learned through a software program,
from seminars, or from a training manual. Institutional
knowledge is an asset that is often overlooked in today’s workplace.
And it’s a big reason many companies struggle when new employees take
over.
Preventing Employee Turnover
The
retention of key employees will become a big issue as people leave
organizations in search of a better life.
 Mentoring in the Workplace
Corporate Mentoring is fast becoming an integral part of the business
plans of many successful corporations today.
Who - or What is Generation X?
There
are nearly 77 million Baby Boomers in this country today, and most of
the people in Generation X (47 million or so) are children of Boomers.
Great Expectations: Are College Grads Expecting Too Much?
If you’re
going to hire a new college graduate, you’re probably going to be
interviewing a much humbler individual than you may have interviewed
five years ago. The Great Expectations have now turned into Hope for
the Future.
