Summary

"Within the decade, the massive boomer generation will begin retiring. At the same time, declining birth rates will mean a deficit of younger workers. With these demographic changes, companies in developed economies will face an unprecedented brain drain." "To survive, companies must rethink their workforce strategies and transform their management and human resources practices to attract, engage, and retain workers of all ages. Based on decades of groundbreaking research, the authors of Workforce Crisis present innovative strategies for rewriting the "employment deal" and leveraging the talent of the people your enterprise needs to succeed." "Through savvy use of flexible work arrangements, innovative learning opportunities, and creative compensation and benefits programs, companies can meet the unique needs of each employee cohort."--BOOK JACKET.
