Abstract for the International Partner University Event "Preparing professionals for the global workplace”

Companies are on the verge to think about retention of older workers (workers above 50) in their company. Thus organisations, more specifically small and middle-sized enterprises (SMEs), are busy with the development of concepts how to make the time between 50 and retirement age of 65 or 67 for employees and thus for corporations attractive. One of the project objectives is to find out what employees in the aforementioned age phase want, need and desire in their job to stay employable and to be attractive for their employers. Additionally, will be examined how ICT tools can be supportively implemented in daily work so that older employees get used to it and increase their employability.
