• Surviving the ‘Boomer Tsunami' - Glen Curole

Pandemic planners suggest that you plan for 30% to 40% absenteeism for two to three weeks over an eight week period. Can your company survive with that many of your most experienced employees gone permanently? That’s just what might happen at your company as baby boomers retire. Over the next ten years many companies will face a significant knowledge loss. This is a relatively new area for analysis caused by the realization that large numbers of baby boomers are approaching the initial retirement age of 62 years old. The key risk is ‘knowledge drain’ defined as the loss of key operations knowledge due to the departure of retirees. At this session you will find out how determine the size of the risk, present that information to management and discuss strategies to reduce the number of retiring boomers.
