And that\u2019s OK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, it\u2019s about time. With attention over the last few years focused on <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/gen-z-in-the-workplace-report\/\">Gen Z as the latest generation to enter the workforce<\/a>, Boomers &#8211; the latest label to describe someone over the age of 55 &#8211; have been left behind, bringing to light the need of intergenerational cooperation, to merge the skills and experience of our younger counterparts and older workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we\u2019re here to address that. After all, Boomers have a lot to offer as the experienced employees of the workforce. With their strong work ethic and fountain of knowledge, many can become great mentors for our Gen Z and millennial friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let\u2019s look into how you can level up your recruitment and retention plan to address the needs of older employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-is-there-a-high-number-of-older-job-seekers-in-the-market\">Why is there a high number of older job seekers in the market?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The older generations are a crucial part of the workforce. But with so much focus on recruiting Gen Z lately, businesses have forgotten the value of talent aged over 50. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are other factors at play here, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-dislike-for-their-boss-and-company-culture\">A dislike for their boss and company culture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing Gen-Zs and Boomers have in common \u2013 or all generations for that matter, is a dislike for poor work culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/talent-insights-report\/\">Talent Insights Report<\/a> has the latest insights into talent movement and retention around the world for 2023. In the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/talent-insights-report\/\">Australian talent market<\/a>, we found that job-seekers were motivated to find a new role because of a dissatisfaction towards the roles themselves, company culture \u2013 and their bosses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/talent-insights-report\/\">UK talent market<\/a> painted a similar picture for older millennials, with 80% of job seekers in the 35-44 age group wanting to find alternative employment due to poor company culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottom line is \u2013 no matter <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/generational-differences-workplace\/\">what generation you\u2019re part of<\/a>, poor company culture is harmful when it comes to both attracting, and retaining talent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But saying goodbye to toxic work culture isn\u2019t as simple as flipping a switch. Get started by learning how to spot the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/7-signs-of-a-toxic-workplace-culture\/\">7 signs of a toxic workplace<\/a>, and what you can do about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"age-discrimination-still-exists-and-its-a-barrier-to-entry\">Age discrimination still exists and it\u2019s a barrier to entry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fact: being able to age is a blessing. It gives us life experience, and the years of expertise in our field that a lot of recruiters are often after. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But instead, ageism has become an unspoken barrier in the global talent market. Ironically, we want the experienced employee \u2013 without too big a number to go behind it. Leaving some disgruntled Boomers to feel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/business\/workplace\/barriers-to-finding-a-job-when-you-re-over-50-20210820-p58klc.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201ctoo old for the job\u201d<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can, and should, do better. Older workers are set up for failure before they reach the workplace: with high barriers to entry, their age, and retirement being used against them despite their experience. Over in Scotland, as Rosemary Goring suggests, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heraldscotland.com\/news\/23288879.attitudes-need-change-get-over-50s-back-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our attitudes need to change to get over 50s back to work<\/a> if we\u2019re serious about doing something about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She sums up what age discrimination in a toxic workplace looks like perfectly: <em>\u201cFor many ageing staff, the office, shop floor, or whatever arena they are in, could feel hostile. Asking for help merely reinforces the idea that their time is past, and they belong to the Jurassic rather than the microchip age.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ageism is a common factor in the global talent market. No matter where you are, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/business\/workplace\/barriers-to-finding-a-job-when-you-re-over-50-20210820-p58klc.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">barriers to finding a job when you\u2019re over 50<\/a> are very high \u2013 and very real. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We think it\u2019s about time something\u2019s done about this before it is too late.

What\u2019s more, a learning culture has to be deliberate and inclusive \u2013 everyone needs to have the chance to be heard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He recalled some insight into this: <em>\u201cHaving an open and candid conversation about the benefits that come from a multigenerational workforce makes everyone feel more comfortable voicing their needs and concerns,\u201d <\/em>which is just as valid in today\u2019s workforce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In companies that want to promote a learning culture, employees should already be engaged in learning and development through informal mentoring relationships.
