AmCham Slovakia

Are you in a situation where you manage a diverse age team? Or are you over 50 yourself and thinking about your prospects for the future? Do you feel like your age group is overlooked in the job market? Who should decide the role of this workforce in today's labour market? It's hard to imagine a topic that would affect all of us more, whether directly or indirectly. 

The process of workforce aging requires work-life extension and increasing the retirement age. Employers should prioritize hiring and retaining “older individuals” while ensuring that their working capacity meets the required standards. This segment of the workforce represents a crucial yet often underutilized group, offering a wealth of knowledge, stability, and diverse perspectives that make them indispensable to modern organizations. Contrary to the well-known age-blind approach, taking an inclusive approach to age in the workplace is essential for long-term sustainability.

• Who is considered as the “older individual”?
• Why does this segment of the workforce matter?
• What are the main challenges and benefits of making this topic relevant in organizations apart from just HR?
• What will be the next steps for the organizations of the future?

Save the date and join us at our upcoming Business Breakfast to delve deeper into this important and timely topic.

At AmCham, we continue to support diversity and inclusion, recognizing the immense value that experienced professionals bring to the business. If the working life is to be extended prospectively in Slovakia, it will be necessary for employers to systematically contribute to maintaining and developing the working ability of aging employees. Let's work together to create a clearer future. Join us and share your insights with our fantastic speakers as well as participants.
