Hello, this is The 60 and More Crowd Podcast with Sue Plant.
What was once considered unusual is becoming increasingly common: the Great Unretirement is upon us as 65+ adults are increasingly returning to the workplace!
This trend, often called “unretirement,” is reshaping the way we think about retirement, workforce participation, age inclusive workplaces and employee benefits. In today's episode we are discussing the "unretirement trend" and what it looks like in today's modern workplace.
Hard stop retirement is becoming considerably less common. People returning to work differently and they are reshaping the 65+ workforce: options: full time, part-time, seasonal, consulting, new ventures and flexible roles. What's driving the return to work: often drawn back by financial pressure, a desire for structure, or the opportunity to stay engaged and learning.
Organizations / employers are rethinking how they attract, retain, and support this valuable experienced workforce which is considered a vital asset in many countries. Modern workplaces are adapting to longer working lives in different ways.
In today's episode we will walk through the four pillars supporting the return to work and longer work lives:
- Flexible work models
- Purpose Driven Work
- Continuous Learning
- Workplace Dynamics- highlight: Japan, Switzerland, Canada, United States
As the executive producer and creator of The 60 and More Crowd Podcast, I share a special connection to the "work after 60, global conversation" topic. It's a space where I continue to live, and share my learnings while on my own post career path- Canadian based with a wide global lens.
Note: If you're joining the conversation for the first time, I recommend as entry points to the "work after 60 series: also listening to these three foundation episodes:
• 65+ Workforce Participation Is Rising
• Work After 60: Special Edition – Global Workplace Snapshot
• Canada: Self-Employment Is Rising Among the 65+ Workforce
Together, these episodes provide the foundation for understanding and exploring the global shift toward longer working lives, changing workplace dynamics and new work paths. Exploring how work is changing as people live and work longer — through a global lens.”
If today's episode sparked a thoughtful question or an opportunity to continue the conversation, I'd be pleased to hear from you. You can reach me at the show email: Feedback@60andmorecrowd.com.
