    Session: Total Rewards in the Age Curve: Unlocking the Future - Harnessing the Power of Midlife and Older Women in the Workforce

    By 2030, 150 million jobs will be held by individuals over the age of 55. This shift is projected to represent over a quarter of the entire workforce by 2031. This isn't merely a change in demographics; it's a significant shift in the professional landscape. Midlife and older women are becoming an increasingly bigger part of this shift. 

    Join us to explore the age-related nuances of today's workforce, particularly the challenges and contributions of mid and late career women. Emphasis will be placed on recognizing the pivotal role of women in bridging talent gaps and bolstering leadership, understanding their unique challenges from menopause to gendered-age bias. The session will provide practical strategies to design age-friendly benefits, foster age-positive workspaces, prioritize tailored well-being programs, and develop roles that resonate with the contemporary needs of an aging workforce. The content can help equip your organization to thrive by staying ahead of the age curve.

    Key takeaways from the session will include: 

  1.   The impact of an aging workforce: Come away with a better understanding of this workforce evolution and its direct implications for Total Rewards strategies.

  2.   The importance of midlife and older women in the demographic change: Learn more about their instrumental role in the workforce, the challenges they face, and how to cultivate an environment conducive to their growth, success, and retention.

  3.   Tailored Benefit Design: Explore practical tools and strategies to craft age-inclusive benefits, with a focus on well-being offerings that work for the modern workforce.
