Poll: Is your organisation examining its policies to prepare for an ageing workforce?

The last few years have seen British workers retiring later and later, whether through choice or a financial need. By 2020 it is projected that a third of all employees in the UK will be over 50.

This ageing workforce will present many challenges for HR, including management of benefit provisions as well as more practical concerns such as increased sickness and absence.
