OLDER WORKERS AND DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP
Introduction
It is often noticed that the older workers in an organization are less noticed and benefited
when they are to be given more opportunities to learn, improve and improvise for the companies
in return. It is often believed that the older employees in an organization are less enthusiastic
about programs and training which are aimed at providing them with better opportunities and
mentoring. These coaching and planning which are offered by the organization are essential for
the employees to learn about the newer things in order to improve their efforts. These trainings
and policies are integral part of the jobs which are considered to be the ideal. Some
organizations, which esteems their employees as of great values, invest more in these training
programs. An organization with the right kind of leadership places this highly to provide scope
for benefiting from the training programs. This adds sense of more commitment from the end of
the employees towards the organization. Employees who have areas of weaknesses are able to
address these flaws while developing better skills to contribute to the company.
Discussion
It always benefits an organization when they retain the experienced and mature workers.
The effect of the global aging population has been immense on human resources of
organizations. This indicates a trend of changes for the organization across the globe as there is
little or no effort by several companies to help and train the aging population who are employed
by them. It has also been seen that many companies are not adequately equipped to take
initiatives or strategies to support and benefit their employees whereas, it should be treated as a
priority. As a result, the organizations tend to lose the precious memory of the institution as
labors retire and leave the company. Their skills and knowledge re also collectively lost with
their retirements (Armstrong-Stassen and Stassen 2013). There can be relevant programs and

trainings which can be carried out by organizations which will enhance the capabilities of the
workers as well as motivate them to be more dedicated and committed towards the work that
they do. Age and performance are directly proportional to each other but along with that comes
many other factors which must be kept in mind before expecting constancy from the employees.
Inclusion Activities
Organizations can conduct programs to ensure proactivity and sense of belongingness
within the older workers who are often the most neglected among all employees. Employees of
the highest age group often require programs to create inclusion and affinity in them towards the
others and the company alike. There can be varying activities in order to build feelings of
accommodation as well as eradicate chances of other issues which persist in an working
environment (Poscia et al. 2016). These can range from being specific training programs to
retirement planning needs which can increase awareness as well as participation.
At the first instance, there should be equal opportunities for them in an organization, like
growth in their specific area of expertise in the form of promotions, benefits, no discrimination
between older and newer employees and so on. Therefore, it is very important for the companies
to engage their employees in positive prospects which are to be offered by the company itself.
A workshop which can be conducted by an organization can be broken down into five
parts. This can be facilitated for the older workers in order to develop better working conditions
and enhanced participation. The first and the foremost task of the company is to build a mutual
beneficial space which is not violated but acknowledged with effort.
 The first day of the workshop will be in the form of an orientation for the new few days.
