AARP has a revealing look at how Older Americans Are Rethinking Work and Life.
The center has some telling research on this attitude that was released as part of its COVID Reset Project. That study found people today are valuing closeness to family and friends more than ever, and are prioritizing experiences that create memories more highly than before. It also found that people want leisure time to travel, and are eager for more education and training as part of personal growth.
At AARP, we recognize that the way people are looking at work and retirement is changing. And we want to help older Americans who are part of that change. That includes those who are still showing up on the job or planning to reenter the workforce. At a time when the demand for workers is high, older workers — like their younger counterparts — are seeking out employers that consider their overall well-being and can help them achieve the work-life balance they desire.
If work and life are priorities in your life how do we approach the issue in next years negotiations?
