Results

Our point of view

What we think…

Working for longer has become a necessity.

Early retirement can lead to lower self image.

Minerva Plan is a meaningful way to give fresh impetus to the closing stages of a working career.

Employees get a better insight into their realistic choices.

Plan the final stages of their career themselves, taking account of several factors.

Encourages people to look at the alternatives.

Offers clear added value.

Recommendations…

Older employees be given mentoring and coaching jobs where they can use their experience.

Develop skill transition plans, based on industry, that will facilitate the transfer of knowledge from older to younger workers.

Develop and offer appropriate options like flexible work hours and accommodations that will encourage continued employment of skilled, older workers.
