We are all well aware of New Zealand’s aging working force. And it’s a tough reality to face that those who have really helped grow the organisation may no longer be up to the mark.

It’s important to be respectful and put good faith at the centre of your decisions, but it’s just as important to consider whether job re-design, redeployment or even a broader restructure is what’s best for everyone involved.

Join us at our half-day conference and we will help get you ready for the hard parts and talk about:

  • Does the job still fit the person? The job has evolved, the worker must too
  • Redeployment, mentors and trouble-shooters – Making the most of legacy knowledge
  • Job design, team structures and how to get the most out of all the talent you have
  • Age discrimination – The Human Rights Act and making sure good faith still sits at the centre of the tough choices
  • Tough Conversations – How to manage the hard parts with those who have been your very best
  • Your “why” will dictate your path – making the right choices at the right time and for the right reasons

Having these hard conversations is never going to be easy, but gradual or sudden change that leads to poor performance issues are a reality.

At the same time, retaining mature workers is increasingly becoming a smart solution for businesses. So, get ahead and figure out how best to deal with both sides of the same coin.
