description: The world of work is in the throes of a revolution. The notion of a forty-hour week, fifty weeks a year for forty years is dead. The ingredients of the future include part-time work as a norm, 'portfolio' careers, job sharing, the 'shamrock organization', retirement at fifty. Many organizations are acting vigorously to reduce core staff but are slow to grapple with the associated problems. How do you motivate employees with valuable skills and experience who will be retiring in a few years? How can you make optimum use of ex-employees on a consultancy basis? How best can you help people to enjoy a productive retirement?The authors of this timely book draw on their own research and the findings of other studies. Above all, they report the practice of organizations which have developed systematic programmes designed to address the issues in a positive manner.
