Researchers seek Colorado business participation in survey to identify best practices for recruiting and retaining age 50+ workers


IOWA CITY, Iowa and LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Research teams at the University of Iowa College of Public Health and nonprofit Transamerica Institute®, with funding from Colorado-based NextFifty Initiative, are encouraging employers in Colorado to participate in a statewide survey. The survey focuses on ways businesses are recruiting and retaining experienced employees, as well as programs employers have in place to help these employees prepare for retirement. The results will be shared at a conference in 2020 and will inform a pilot program with approximately 30 businesses to help them implement best practices for an age-friendly workplace.

By 2030, more than one in five people working in Colorado will be at least 55 years old, according to the Colorado State Demography Office. This rapid shift in the workforce presents opportunities for companies to develop and implement policies to successfully address workers' changing needs.

"We encourage Colorado-based employers to share their business practices, policies and attitudes by participating in this ground-breaking research," says Brian Kaskie, associate professor of health management and policy at the University of Iowa College of Public Health. "Research findings will provide employers with actionable insights for a productive and satisfied multigenerational workforce."
