Abstract:
This critical discussion focuses on the growing need to design human resource strategies that actively support and empower silver workersemployees aged 55 years and above while fostering age-diverse organizations through inclusive and sustainable talent management. As global populations continue to age and older employees make up a steadily rising proportion of the workforce, conventional employment models must evolve to harness the distinct expertise, experience, and adaptability that silver workers bring. The analysis explores essential HR practices such as age-sensitive policies, flexible working opportunities, structured intergenerational knowledge exchange, continuous skill development, and comprehensive wellbeing programs. Empowering silver workers is a social responsibility and a strategic necessity. Organizations that embrace age inclusivity are better equipped to build dynamic, future-ready workplaces capable of thriving in the face of demographic transitions and an increasingly complex socio-economic environment.
