Business leaders and the government are being urged to prioritise work flexibility in a bid to help over-50s to be more active in the workforce. The 50+ Choices Roundtable has published its Flexible After Fifty report, which suggests measures including all job adverts promoting flexible working and enhanced training for HR to support those wanting the hybrid approach. The report comes as many organisations are facing skills and labour shortages – driven in part by fewer older people being available to work. The report comprises the input of roundtable members including the CIPD, the British Chamber of Commerce, the Federation of Small Businesses, the Recruitment and Employment Confederation, UK Hospitality, Institute of Directors, Make UK and Business in the Community.
