Abstract
This study explored Kentucky employers’ preparedness for the aging workforce using focus groups and a survey. Although employers perceived many benefits of older workers, five key challenges of an aging workforce emerged: institutional knowledge loss, older workers’ dependent care commitments, health and safety problems, generation gaps, and lack of technical skills. The results also suggested potential solutions and organizational practices to address each of these challenges. These practices include succession planning, meaningful work, flexible work, safety climate, wellness programs, generational empathy training, technology training, and intergenerational mentoring.
