It suggests that employers can play a role in helping to educate employees on financial planning and facilitating approved medical plans and retirement benefits to help cover these costs. Concerns mentioned include the affordability of healthcare, retirement savings, and having adequate insurance or savings to cover major medical expenses or loss of income.
The document discusses concerns about managing mature employees in organizations as the average employee age rises. The top concern is that physical job requirements may exceed the abilities of mature and older workers. Additionally, health and insurance costs are expected to increase with an aging workforce. Mature employees are also sometimes unwilling to change or learn new technologies. Flexible schedules are not always available to accommodate part-time or flexible work arrangements for older employees.
Victor Tay discussed how Asia is adapting business practices to changing demographics. [1] Asia accounts for 60% of the world's population and is experiencing the fastest population growth and urbanization. [2] Asian economies are becoming an increasingly large share of global GDP as countries specialize their workforces in different industries. [3] Increasing life expectancies mean workers will postpone retirement, while a surging middle class will impact wealth creation and wage increases. Adapting to trends like an aging population and the "silver economy" will be important for business competitiveness in Asia.
The document discusses four scenarios for what Singapore's population and demographics may look like in 2050 based on different fertility rates and levels of annual net migration.

Former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew said that an annual intake of 20,000 to 25,000 migrants is politically digestible for Singapore.

The document discusses a holistic approach to employing older staff. It begins by noting Singapore's aging population and workforce. It then discusses common health issues among older individuals and the benefits of continued work. The key to employment is assessing an individual's workability through examining their health, functional capacity, and matching it to job demands. Employers should implement workplace health promotion strategies like health screenings, chronic disease management programs, and ergonomic assessments. They should also have policies that support an older workforce through flexible hours, training opportunities, and eliminating age discrimination. The goal is a successful engagement of experienced, healthy older staff through focusing on both individual health empowerment and a supportive work environment.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Championing Healthy Ageing
Programmes and Health
Promotion at Workplaces
Statistics: Singapore
Trend of ageing: By 2030, 1 in every 5
Singaporeans will be aged 65 years and
above
• Surging trend of non-communicable
diseases
• Disabilities among older persons
• Increased demand for healthcare
facilities, long term care services and
others

THE FACT IS:
We change when we age
Physiological Changes
• Cardiovascular
• Heart muscle becomes less efficient —
working harder to pump the same amount
of blood through your body.
• Blood vessels lose some of their elasticity
• Hardened fatty deposits may form on the
inner walls of your arteries
(atherosclerosis).

Physiological Changes
Bones, joints and muscles
• Bones tend to shrink in size and density
— weakens them and makes them more
susceptible to fracture.
• Muscles lose strength and flexibility --
become less coordinated or have trouble
balancing.
Physiological Changes
Metabolic System
• Gradual decline in the activity of the
thyroid gland and decline in the ability of
the pancreas to produce insulin.
• -- Decrease in the body's ability to use
fats and sugars and to convert them into
energy.
• Increase in weight; an increased blood
sugar level

4. 11/11/2011
Psychological Changes
• May experience some significant loss
of mental lucidity and independence
• 60 years and older experience
significant cognitive decline, including
declines in memory, concentration,
clarity of thought, focus and judgment
So, do we accept this as a fact or
something can be done to it.

Benefits of Retaining Mature
Employees
• Mature workers possess more work experience and
on-the-job education, which has honed their
analytical and personal skills, making them cost-
effective workers.
• Able to share this massive resource with your
company to increase value and productivity!
• Mature workers stay longer at an organization after
training than younger workers;

Programmes (WHP)

15. 11/11/2011
Why Workplace Health Promotion
(WHP)?
• A reciprocal relationship
• Work affects health (factors at work can improve or
affect health negatively)
• Health affects work (how you feel physically,
mentally and emotionally affect your performance)
1. Most companies have a sick care plan and not a
health care plan.
2. Most disease that kills are lifestyle related. They
can be prevented to a great extend.

Investment in human capital
• Optimizing the performance and productivity of
human capital is critical, given our limited
resources.
• Especially true in a knowledge economy, where
talent and innovation of an energetic and vibrant
workforce are essential
• Investing in the health of employees should be
seen as an investment rather than a cost
31
Workplace is the ideal setting
• More than 60% of Singaporean adults
spend at least half of their waking
hours at work.
• The workplace is an ideal setting to
promote health where peer support
and communication structures are
already in place
