10,000 Americans have their 65th birthday every day. Our society is aging, rapidly. Plus, the rate of change in technology is astounding. Exactly how technology can support employment in our aging society has yet to be seen.

There’s a ticking time bomb in the labor force, and it’s something your business must grapple with. If you don’t, you will lose up to 40% of your workforce, see higher absentee costs, and find it difficult to attract new workers. Chances are, you have already seen some of these problems.

The pandemic and the work ethic of younger generations may contribute in some situations, but these are not the root of the issue.

Employees burdened with caregiving responsibilities are stressed out, and not able to work to capacity without specific supports. While much of the care industry suggests family caregivers be provided with more time off and employers accept lower profits, Jeannette Galvanek has real results for employers to use technology to make a difference.

If your organization is struggling to stabilize your workforce, and you think technology may be part of the solution, this short thought piece, Technology Fortifies Employment in an Aging Society, may provide you with some answers.
