Description
The rapidly aging global workforce is considered by many to be the most significant business trend for the next several decades. 76 million Baby Boomers, who make up a third of the U.S. workforce, are poised to retire in large numbers by the end of the decade, potentially taking with them an immense volume of business-critical knowledge. Organizations that fail to understand the risks of this imminent knowledge drain to their competitiveness, in a marketplace that requires innovation and responsiveness, will suffer significant consequences (Foster, 2005).
