The Retirement Dilemma – Sleepwalking Into a Crisis?

Written By
Colin Haines

This paper provides employers with information and views to help address two very important questions, and to provoke ideas for discussion. The questions are:

  • With competition for the best talent increasingly fierce in this era of global skills shortages, could employers that help support employees in the run up to retirement gain an edge?
  • If employers ignore this question, could they be sleepwalking into a crisis; and end up with a workforce that cannot afford to retire, or votes with their feet and look to find employers that can provide effective support as retirement draws nearer?

The issue of planning for retirement is not specific to the UK. This paper draws upon research from around the world in order to bring a global dimension to a global challenge.

Risk - what does it mean for the progressive HR function?

Over the past few years, the scope and scale of risks to which organisations are exposed have proliferated e.g. cybersecurity, data threats, terrorism, reputation – and these risks can be both outside and inside the organisation. Unsurprisingly, the level at which they are discussed and governed has escalated accordingly.
