Audits on the employment of over-50s

A strategic objective for the European Union, employment of seniors has made news recently in France with ‎regulations requiring companies to sign agreements or put in place plans of action regarding recruitment and ‎retention of such employment. Going beyond a legal obligation, employment of seniors and generational ‎diversity constitutes a tremendous opportunity for companies, but also presents certain challenges for  ‎anticipating position availability, competences, the demanding nature of work, and support during the final ‎phases of one’s career.‎‎

• Obtain a demographic overview of your company and identify the opportunities involved in the ‎employment of seniors?
• Evaluate the performance of your company regarding recruitment and retention of senior employment, ‎and receive recommendations for supporting your plan of action?‎‎
