New Context of Aging Context of aging & work today what s going on? Can older workers continue? This year s research the Time & Place Management (TPM) Study What can employers do? What can policy-makers do? The U.S. is aging - people are living longer than ever before. Older adults are healthier than ever before. The economy has affected plans of the retirement-eligible. Older adults want to be productive Engaged as We Age: Life and Times in an Aging Society Study Mental Health by Age Involvement + Engagement Mean Mental Health Score by Age Groups Age 39 or Younger Ages Ages Age 66 or Older Note: One-way anova used to test differences. Differences significant, p<.001. Age 65 or older significantly higher in Mental Health than the other age groups 1
2 Rewards of for Greater Engagement High engagement predicts greater outcomes of well-being compared to no involvement. Low engagement predicts lower outcomes of well-being As we age, it is better for our wellness to be uninvolved than it is to be involved and unengaged. Positive Views of Aging: The Third Age A Fresh Map of Life (Laslett, 1989) apogee of life era of personal fulfillment the crown of life Fourth Age = frail and dependent (can arrive slowly or quickly) Source: Matz-Costa, C., Besen, E., James, J.B. & Pitt-Catsouphes, M.

Emotional Selectivity The Particular Urgency of Mortality I no longer read books I m not interested in. I don t mind empty calories quite the opposite! but empty experiences grate on me more than before. If something is worth doing, it s worth doing today. If not, chuck it.

Life expectancy today in U.S. is 79. What s Your Retirement Job? 2
3 Why Do Older Workers Want to Continue Work? Do Older Workers Need to Work? Median Weekly Earnings of Full-time Wage-and-Salary Workers, by Age and Gender, 2013 Surveys consistently find that older workers (particularly those aged 50 and older) plan to work past the normal retirement age. 91% 81% 71% 61% 51% 96% 95% 83% 49% 61% Need the money Enjoy work Feel useful Older workers give many reasons for continued work: health & wealth; meaning & connection. 41% 31% 21% 11% 1% Health insurance Pension requirements Source: AARP, 2013 Source: BLS Employment and Earnings, 2013 (Table 41). Do They Need Employer-based Health Insurance? Source of Health Insurance Coverage among Individuals Aged Does Work Provide Meaning and Connection? Working makes you feel good about yourself.you re fundamentally useful. I need to work for my health insurance That s the main reason. I think it s a healthy situation to continue to work in some form, shape, or fashion, whether that s for monetary reward or challenges or give back all those things are important to staying intellectually healthy.

So, Does Work Benefit Older Adults? Added financial security (and perhaps health insurance) (Employee Benefits Research Institute, 2004) Are Older Workers More Likely to be Unemployed? Unemployment Rates by Age-- 12/2012, 11/2013 and 12/2013 Increased Social Security income from the Delayed Retirement Credit (Munnell, 2013) Increased assets because each additional year of work replaces a year in which assets would have been depleted (Cahill, Giandrea & Quinn, 2012) Added health and well-being outcomes (James & Wink, 2007) The question becomes.can they continue?

5 HR Managers Perceptions of the Likelihood of Age Discrimination at Stages of Employment N=603 What s the Harm? Intentional v. Unintentional Age Discrimination Intentional: If employees of all ages perceive that older workers are capable of promotion but also typically denied that opportunity.their employee engagement scores go down. Unintentional: If employees perceive that older workers are not really capable (can t adapt, do technology, keep up), and see them as being denied promotions, employee engagement scores are not affected.

The Gerontologist; doi: /geront/gnt146. Reasons for Choosing Semi-Retirement But Won t they Steal Jobs from Younger Workers? Similar arguments were made about women, but women s entry into the workforce has been an economic boom and created, rather than stolen jobs Economists show that throughout history, when older workers are continuing work, the economy grows. That said, there may be pockets where this is true, which makes the perception hard to refute. Source: HSBC (2013). The Future of Retirement: Life After Work? 5
6 What do employers need to do? A Tale of Two.the Time & Place Management Study ModMed Access to new flex schedule/flex place options (experimental group) Training to help mgrs. and employees initiate and engage in discussion of options (80% of 3,890 employees have completed; 76.6% of 342 managers have completed). Communication to motivate and indicate top management support Surveys of both managers (7) and employees (4) Last data collection January, Company A Training for managers (and employees) about business-relevant rationale and processes for flex discussions initiated by supervisors Tracking of progress shared with managers (6 waves of data) Study completed in June, Evidence of Treatment Effects at ModMed Preliminary Findings from ModMed The impact of the TPM initiative on work-life balance does not differ significantly between older and younger workers. Older and younger workers alike appear to have benefited. Manager assessments of team productivity and team attitude are higher among work units in which more than one third of employees are aged 50 or older compared with younger work units. The positive impact of the TPM initiative on manager assessments appears to be concentrated among the younger work units possibly because there is more room for improvement. The financial performance of work units (number of months over budget) is higher among older work units compared with younger ones. The positive impact of the TPM initiative on financial performance also appears to be concentrated among the younger work units again, possibly because there is more room for improvement. 33 Key Findings From Company A Women Managers Performed more TPM discussions Had higher flex use among supervisees Had higher flex expansion rates Older Managers Performed more TPM discussions Had lower flex expansion rates Favorable Attitudes Toward Flex or the SPF Program Resulted in more TPM discussions Corresponded with higher flex use among supervisees Resulted in higher flex expansion rates Favorable Attitudes Toward Flex or the SPF Program Resulted in more TPM discussions Corresponded with higher flex use among supervisees Resulted in higher flex expansion rates Beliefs that Promoting Flex Would Be Recognized Resulted in more TPM discussions Corresponded with higher flex use among supervisees Resulted in higher flex expansion rates 6

Aging Population as Untapped Resource America s aging population is a great untapped economic resource. The right policy reforms and business practices could leverage this resource to unleash another century of American economic growth. But first a profound transformation is needed in how we think about work, activity, aging and retirement. Source: Wall St. Journal, 3/10/2014 7
