4 SUMMARY Beginning in October 2007 and continuing through March 2008, AARP Florida, in cooperation with the Manatee Chamber of Commerce and the Suncoast Workforce Board, has held and will continue to convene a series of luncheons designed to help employers understand the changing demography of Florida s workforce. The series covers such topics as the: assessment of business demography, flexible work arrangements, recruitment of mature workers, how to support employees with caregiving responsibilities, and intergenerational diversity in the workplace. AARP Florida is committed to working with Florida employers to not only help employers attract and retain mature workers, but to develop a work environment that will attract workers of all ages. Highlights of AARP Florida s latest research shows that: A potential shortage of qualified workers is predicted by responding employers. Loss of institutional knowledge does occur and retention of institutional knowledge and skills is important to responding employers. Work options and accommodations are offered to older employees by responding employers. A defined contribution plan is offered by the majority of responding employers AARP Online Survey of Employers in Florida 1
5 BACKGROUND The U.S. workforce is aging rapidly. By 2014, twenty-one percent of workers 1 will be age 55 or older, in contrast to 16 percent in That's a projected increase of more than 11 million 55+ workers in just 10 years. Carrying this projection further shows that in the ten-year period from 2004 to 2014, workers age 55 and older will grow by 49 percent compared to only a three percent growth in workers age 25 to 54 years, and a half a percentage point drop in workers age 16 to 24 years. The effects of these demographic changes are already being felt by Florida employers. The Office of Economic and Demographic Research projects that from 2004 to 2014 the number of Floridians will increase by 22 percent. During this ten-year period, the number of Floridians 55 and older is projected to grow by 38 percent, and the number of Floridians age 45 to 64 is projected to grow by 34 percent. 2 AARP designed an online survey of employers in Florida in cooperation with the Manatee Chamber of Commerce and the Suncoast Workforce Board. The purpose of this survey is to gauge whether or not Florida employers have addressed the issue of changing workforce demography and to identify some of the key areas where Florida employers anticipate shortages in their workforce, as well as ascertain whether or not Florida employers have taken any steps to mitigate the loss of knowledge that may occur when older workers retire. AARP Florida fielded this online survey in June, July, and August, AARP compiled a list of addresses of Florida employers. Because this sample is based upon those AARP self-selected for participation, no estimates of sampling error can be calculated, nor can these results be generalized to all employers in Florida. An annotated questionnaire can be found at the end of this report. 1 (in the civilian labor force) Source: Labor Force Projections to 2014: Retiring Boomers, by Mitra Toossi of the Office of Occupational Statistics and Employment Projections, Bureau of Labor Statistics.

6 Summary of Findings Most Responding Employers Predict a Potential Shortage of Qualified Workers Nearly three in four responding employers believe that it is at least somewhat likely that their company or organization will face a shortage of qualified workers in the next five years, and about one in five believes that it is extremely likely. Moreover, about four in ten (38%) estimate that ten percent or more of their current workforce is likely to retire in the next five years. Likelihood of Facing a Shortage of Qualified Workers in the Next 5 Years (n=108) Not sure 3% Extremely 18% Very 28% Not at all 5% Not very 19% Somewhat 28% To prepare for this potential shortage of workers, responding employers are currently improving their technology (86%); increasing training and cross-training opportunities (79%); offering alternative work arrangements to their employees, such as part-time work, job sharing, and telecommuting (64%); and conducting workforce assessments (56%) AARP Online Survey of Employers in Florida 3
7 Retention of Institutional Knowledge and Skills is Important to Responding Employers Over four in five responding employers acknowledge that a loss of knowledge does occur when an employee retires or otherwise leaves their company or organization. In fact, about four in ten identify this loss as major. Knowledge Lost When Employee Retires or Leaves (n=108) Major amount 39% Minor amount 44% No answer 7% Not sure 6% None at all 4% Most responding employers (64%) consider it extremely or very important for their company or organization to retain the institutional knowledge that might be lost when an employee retires or leaves. However, only about three in ten (28%) have a formal process in place that enables their retired or former employees to share their knowledge. Responding employers identify management (20%), marketing (14%), skilled labor (13%), training or instructional skills (12%), and sales (11%) as the skill sets or experience that will be most lacking in their businesses as their workers retire. Responding Employers Offer Work Options and Accommodations to Older Employees Over half of responding employers (56%) provide training to older workers to upgrade their skills and knowledge. Over four in ten also hire retired employees as consultants or temporary employees for project or contract work (44%) and provide older workers with part-time work without benefits (42%). Exactly four in ten allow employees to ease into retirement by reducing their work schedules AARP Online Survey of Employers in Florida 4
8 To further accommodate their older workers, nearly four in ten (38%) provide opportunities for employees to transfer to jobs with reduced pay and responsibilities. In addition to the previous work accommodations for older employees, responding employers also allow all their employees the option of: Working part-time (75%) Performing project or contract work (58%) Telecommuting (46%) Sharing a job with another employee (29%) The Majority of Responding Employers Offer Employees a Defined Contribution Plan Nearly two in three responding employers (64%) offer their employees a defined contribution plan, such as a 401(k) or 403(b), which allows them to set aside tax-deferred income for retirement. However, most of these responding employers (58%) do not automatically enroll their employees into such plan. Nearly three in ten offer a defined benefit plan (28%), and about one in seven offers retiree health insurance (15%) and long-term care insurance (15%). Profile of Responding Employers Over half of responding employers (52%) completing this online survey had 50 or more employees, and over half were either vice presidents, directors, or general managers (26%) or presidents, owners, or CEOs (22%). Methodology AARP Florida fielded an online survey of businesses in Florida in June, July, and August, A list of addresses of employers was compiled by AARP. Respondents received an with a link to the survey, and two subsequent follow-up s urging them to take the survey. Approximately 2,000 s went sent, and 108 employers completed the survey. Because the sample is based upon those who AARP self-selected for participation, no estimates of sampling error can be calculated, nor can these results by generalized to all employers in Florida AARP Online Survey of Employers in Florida 5
