The importance of future-proofing an aging workforce

Demographic change is affecting society and the world of work in many ways. In the future, companies will have to be competitive and productive with an older workforce and should also prepare for an increased shortage of skilled workers.

It is very important that companies recognize these demographic challenges at an early stage and take them into account in their planning. The right course must already be set today in personnel development and recruitment.

Those companies that succeed in using demographic change as an opportunity to attract and retain qualified employees will be innovative, competitive and successful.

Alexandra Pattermann highlights the importance of bringing generations together and shows you the benefits of age-appropriate and life-phase-oriented working environments.

In 2023 our central focus is pretty obvious ...

The initiator of Leadership Horizon, Gunther Fürstberger, will kick off the event:

Each year our focus is on the most relevant challenge for leaders of today and tomorrow. In 2023 the umbrella theme “Leading in Uncertain Times” is pretty obvious due to the parallel crises in politics, economy and environment, leaders having to deal with.

Even if there are no easy answers, helpful inspiration can be found in learning from leaders

  • who serve their employees with a humble attitude in order to overcoming challenges together
  • who act as ethical role models by following a sustainable growth strategy, combining the aspiration of a better world with financial success, but who are also be willing the make sacrifices if needed
  • share leadership in different forms, to better deal with the dynamic environment and
  • are able to integrate the best of younger and more experienced workforce.
