An introduction to The 60 and More Crowd Podcast.

According the The World Economic Forum: the percentage of people over the age of 65 in the workplace will rise sharply in the next five years. Here on The 60 and More Podcast, it s a conversation about:  people in their 60’s, 70’s and more deciding to keep working in some capacity, Because for those of us in the 60 and More Crowd community work isn’t over. It’s evolving  on a global basis. .

How people are working longer and contributing after 60 around the world- the conversation lives here!

Welcome to The 60 and More Crowd Podcast. 

We older workers bring immense value to the marketplace.  What are the modern "senior" employment workplace trends as many people navigate post- career work chapters or discover new ways to work! 

 I am Sue Plant, your guide, host and producer. This is an independent Canadian based podcast with a curious global lens - how do other countries support and engage the valuable older workforce.  

What's my background:  I previously spent my longtime book publishing career at Scholastic, and now a new post-career adventure.  I explore how work is evolving beyond traditional retirement with a wide global lens

Join me as we walk through this!

Re-imaging what a work chapter could look like;

  •  Whether you're considering staying in your current role, phased/semi retirement, returning to the workforce or exploring new ventures
  •  In Canada where I reside, 22% of people over the age of 65 are continuing to work. Whether you're considering staying in your current role, un-retiring and returning to work or exploring new ventures, people are choosing to do so for different reasons. Japan’s 65+ workforce, high rate of participation is also spotlighted in this episode.

What's my connection and interest in the work longer topic? 

  • After leaving my longtime corporate career, I chose to keep working in new ways and became intrigued- how were others navigating the same path.
  •  This inspired me to launch the 60 and More Crowd Podcast to open the conversation and dig into the topic. I’m excited to collaborate, share insights and keep learning  to keep you informed. 
  • Episodes are short on the go episodes less than 10 minutes. The working longer trend is a multi-layered topic. Each episode will discuss various aspects of the process and the changing global work landscape.  

 This is the 60 and More Crowd Podcast highlighting the growing trend of working longer. I will talk to you soon.

 Please pass this on to anyone who may be interested or wanting to stay informed.
