This week’s blog is inspired by our great-return guru Joe Slavin’s LinkedIn musings
It’s the success story that illuminated lockdown. Your mate's dad, stuck inside with an alarming amount of time for self-reflection, assessed his life and made a significant career shift. Isn’t that inspiring? What a guy! He took charge of his destiny, put in the work, and reaped the rewards! On an individual level, this works - we celebrate your mate’s Dad’s entrepreneurial valour - but when 611,000 people contemplate this switch, a problem and a gap in the enduring workforce emerges.
With Millennials getting kicked out of their houses so their landlord can raise the rent and Gen Z simply seeking employment where they’re treated ethically - it’s the older generation in their 50s and 60s who were able to follow this lockdown dream and make the drop out of regular employment during lockdown.
The loss of this generational knowledge was severe and intense.
This exodus of older workers has backed inflation and a tight labour market. In response, the UK government is launching a series of measures to entice older workers back into the workplace. Midlife MOTs, Returnship, and reversible mentoring plans are all being discussed, but what are you doing to ensure your job ads are enticing enough for these workers as they slowly re-integrate, or do you use a blanket approach with unoptimised and consciously biassed Job Ads?
In fact, what are you doing to ensure your job ad is enticing to all?
