At the Middle Tennessee SHRM luncheon on April 23, 2009, we discussed Managing an Aging Workforce. The attached PowerPoint Presentation highlights the key points of our discussion from a legal and human resources prospective.
The document discusses leveraging the aging workforce. It notes that average life expectancy has increased by over 17 years since retirement ages were originally set, meaning people can work longer. Both mandatory retirement is now banned and patterns of work have changed, with many seniors continuing to work part-time or consult. While there are challenges to an aging workforce like skills upgrades, benefits can include experience and loyalty. The document argues for flexible work arrangements, ongoing training, and compensation based on performance rather than solely on seniority to help retain older workers.
This document provides information about career decision making and choosing a career. It discusses examining personal characteristics like personality, skills, interests, and family influence. It also covers using psychological tests and important considerations for career choices. The document then discusses workplace trends with the changing roles of technology, an evolving workforce, and challenges faced by women and minorities. Finally, it covers coping with occupational hazards like job stress, sexual harassment, and unemployment.
This document discusses research on job satisfaction and attrition in the IT and ITES industries in India. It examines the impact of work-life balance and burnout (measured by meaninglessness, de-motivation, and exhaustion) on job satisfaction. The findings show that while work-life balance and job satisfaction were positively related, the burnout dimensions were negatively related to job satisfaction. Work-life balance was a more significant contributor to job satisfaction in ITES than IT. Job satisfaction was also higher among male respondents than female respondents. The IT group had lower work-life balance and job satisfaction but higher burnout levels than the ITES group. The implications and future research directions are discussed.
This document discusses women's work-life balance in the banking sector in India. It begins with an introduction on how technology has blurred lines between work and personal life. It then outlines the objectives of the study, which are to explore factors influencing women's work-life balance and examine related problems. The document also discusses rights and acts in India aimed at supporting women, such as maternity leave laws, sexual harassment laws, and equal pay laws. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and balance for women in the workplace.
The document discusses the challenges women in the IT industry face in balancing work and personal lives. As more women enter the workforce, they take on both professional roles as well as traditional homemaker responsibilities, putting pressure on them to balance multiple demands. This is made more difficult by long work hours, travel requirements, and an inability to shift domestic duties to partners. While companies offer some flexible work arrangements, women often still face career setbacks due to balancing work and family commitments. The document advocates for employers to implement more work-life balance policies and provisions to help support women professionals.
The document discusses work-life balance in Hong Kong. It begins with defining work-life balance as having control over when, where and how work is done, allowing people to be happy both at and outside of work. It then discusses the current work environment in Hong Kong, noting long work hours and overtime are common. Several slides discuss the costs of poor work-life balance for both employees and employers, such as stress, illness, and decreased productivity. The document concludes by suggesting ways to restore work-life balance, such as reducing work hours, introducing flexible work arrangements, and providing employee and family support.

HR Insights, Disability Discrimination Law, Refreshing Law September 2018James Cheetham
This document discusses updates to disability discrimination law. It notes an increase in people with disabilities in the workplace and more people having multiple medical conditions. It also discusses how the definition of disability and what counts as a disability is expanding. Key points include how employers are expected to determine if someone has a disability, the duty to make reasonable adjustments, and examples of indirect discrimination and harassment.

Work/life balance and smartphones: Can a smartphone make a difference?Bhitesh Arora
Smartphone usage amongst the general public has risen dramatically only in the last 2 to 5 years. With the introduction of the smartphone, users have found many benefits, such as access to apps for news, public service information, entertainment, and constant access to their email, social networking sites, and the internet. This project aims to examine the effect this has had on working people and their ability to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
The project presents a brief history of the development of the smartphone and its subsequent integration into workers' everyday lives. It also presents some theories on what constitutes a healthy work-life balance alongside some research into existing literature to determine whether people feel their smartphones have enhanced or presented challenges in their ability to achieve this.
The project asserts that the smartphone has afforded both individuals and organizations great opportunities to improve performance and service in their workplace environments.
However, both organizations and some individuals have yet to establish acceptable boundaries concerning the use of smartphones for work-based activities outside of legal working hours.
At last, we’ll get to know whether smartphones can help in maintaining the balance between work and life.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORK-LIFE BALANCE AND EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCERobinson Omamo
This study focuses on one flexible working practice, homeworking, and examines its benefits at the individual level. I question the employee's perception of homeworking as a benefit. For example, in the case of an organization where homeworking has a long history and has become a common and extended practice among employees over time, I argue that employees may not perceive homeworking as a discretionary benefit, but as an entitlement. Since the research questions of this study are of an exploratory nature, I applied qualitative analysis to primary interview data obtained in Samba Financial Group. The interview data allowed examination of the ways in which research participants perceived and experienced past employee-organization exchanges and, thus, address the research questions regarding the perceptions of the content and quality of the employee organization relationship (EOR). I supported the qualitative results with quantitative analysis of survey data the research team collected from the same organization and other internal organizational data. The results support past research that shows working from home brings benefits such as helping employees with balancing their home and work commitments with becoming more productive as they have fewer distractions than when working at the office This study seeks to contribute to the on-going debate about the consequences of homeworking focusing on the employee-organization relationship and drawing from the social exchange theory and the inducements-contributions model.
The document discusses several career paths including small business owner, FBI agent, and inventor. It provides statistics and details about the typical responsibilities, education/experience requirements, work environment, gender breakdown, and salary information for each career. It notes that small business owners provide many jobs and exported goods but require a business plan. FBI agents investigate federal crimes but have limited arrest powers and undergo extensive background checks. Inventing today often occurs in corporate research labs rather than individual labs due to higher costs.
The document summarizes key findings from a report comparing effective practices for managing an aging workforce identified in guidelines to practices currently used by organizations as found in a survey. It identifies several gaps, including that organizations take a short-term view and lack urgency in preparing for demographic shifts, and do not conduct long-term workforce forecasting, planning or skills assessments. It also notes older workers are not included in diversity recruiting plans despite guidelines recommending this.
A guide for employers about the value of promoting health and healthy work-life balance for their employees. This guide outlines the cost benefits of investing in health prevention and promotion activities. This guide contains a list of local resources available in the Grand Erie region of Ontario, Canada.
The document discusses changing demographics in the workforce and increasing needs for flexibility. It notes that the modern workforce has more dual-focused workers who juggle work and family responsibilities. Surveys also find declining aspirations to move up and increased disengagement. The document argues that effective work-life programs can boost satisfaction, engagement, retention and business metrics. Flexibility should be viewed not just as a benefit but a management strategy and cultural value.
Passing the Torch: 5 Steps for Turning the Baby Boomer Brain Drain into a Bra...Kip Michael Kelly
As aging baby boomers reach retirement age over the next two decades, many organizations face a potential mass exodus of their senior leaders. While the economic downturn may have delayed retirement for many baby boomers, these valued employees will retire eventually, taking with them a lifetime of knowledge and skills that are difficult, if not impossible, to replace. This paper discusses the five steps you should take now to avoid the baby boomer brain drain and create a brain trust.

If you were born after 1984 there is only a 10% chance that you will be part of a church today (Source: Alan Roxburgh, Following God). This sobering statistic captures the urgency of the church’s challenge in the 21st century. But it also provides an opportunity to ask, “How might God be reshaping the Church through these changes?” In this session we will explore the landscape of young adult faith development, and some signs of hope through vocational exploration and leadership development.
The document discusses strategies for credit unions to attract young adult members and staff. It notes that while the general population is getting younger, the average age of credit union members is rising. In the 1960s and 1970s, credit union leaders recognized the need to reach out to young people to ensure future growth. The National Youth Involvement Board was created to obtain youth input and share resources. Today, credit unions need to understand what attracts generations Y and Z in order to serve younger members and hire young staff. The summary provides perspectives from young credit union professionals who are both committed long-term to the industry and frustrated with lack of career opportunities or vision.
This document discusses the characteristics and learning styles of Millennial or Generation Y students in higher education.

- Millennials also have different views on success, valuing work-life balance and independence more than high pay or promotions.
- There is tension between generations in values and work styles, particularly around technology, but recognizing generational differences can help organizations be more productive and effective at managing multi-generational teams.

At yahoo genxamericasmostinfluentialgenerationfinalNainjeet Ramlagan
Gen X, consisting of 81 million Americans aged 35-54, is a highly influential generation that is often overlooked by marketers focused on boomers and millennials. Gen X faces new economic realities of being part of the "vanishing middle class" while also dealing with life stage surprises like caring for both children and aging parents. Additionally, their brains and bodies are changing as they reconcile the cognitive effects of middle age and increased health concerns. Despite these challenges, Gen X remains resilient and innovative, continuing to disrupt industries and shape culture through their entrepreneurial spirit.
The document discusses strategies for teaching and assessing critical thinking skills in millennial students. It provides background on Generation X and millennial learners, explaining that millennials are independent problem solvers who want meaningful, stimulating work and quick access to information. The document then outlines several key teaching strategies and self-assessment activities that focus on experiential learning, giving students control and connecting classroom learning to real-world applications. Finally, it presents three methods for assessing critical thinking: a pro/con grid, content/form/function outlining, and analytic memos.
This document discusses generational differences and strategies for attracting and retaining Generation Y employees. It outlines the defining characteristics and outlooks of Veterans, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y. For Generation Y, it emphasizes the importance of fair and direct communication, engagement in professional development, technology skills training, work-life balance, and opportunities for career growth. It provides recommendations for retention strategies focused on individualized career paths, mentoring, feedback, and conveying how work impacts business goals. Finally, it discusses the benefits of intergenerational teams and flexibility in today's workplace.
This presentation summarizes common characteristics of Generation Y to help understand their motivations and develop strategies for managing intergenerational relationships in the workforce. Key points include: Generation Y comprises over 70 million people in the US and will make up nearly half the workforce by 2014; formative events like 9/11, the Iraq War, and technology shaped their worldview; they value meritocracy, camaraderie, non-traditionalism, and work-life integration; implications for businesses include addressing expectations around compensation, career opportunities, collaboration, and feeling nurtured in the workplace. The goal is to understand generational differences and disconnects to facilitate a positive transition into the workforce.

This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Janet F. Painter and Dr. Joyce H. Davis on improving retention of millennial teachers. It discusses the characteristics of millennial workers and challenges they present for traditional institutions. Examples are given of successful recruitment and retention strategies used by companies like Deloitte, Cisco Systems, and Carolina Healthcare Systems that could be applied to the education field. These include clear communication, opportunities for collaboration, customized recognition programs, flexible work arrangements, and professional development. The document concludes by considering what teacher educators can learn from other fields to better engage and retain millennial students and teachers.
This is a presentation I did for a group of 15 supervisors.
It is an interactive training session which requires an experienced facilitator. It is a great way to present generational differences using input from the group you are training. You can send the survey to participants in advance and add your company's demographics to the presentation to make it even more effective
The document discusses age diversity in the workplace. It notes that age diversity exists in many settings due to people being at different stages in their careers and life. While older workers are seen as loyal and hardworking, younger workers are innovative. However, these are stereotypes that can cause conflict. Both older and younger workers share core values like family and want respect. Age diversity will only increase in the future so companies must find ways to transfer knowledge between generations to thrive.
The document discusses diversity management in the workplace. It covers topics like multicultural skills building, promoting collaboration, advantages of managing diversity well, discrimination, gender barriers, persons with disabilities, older employees, and generational differences at work. It provides strategies for being a leader in a diverse workplace and developing skills to build productive relationships with all types of people from different cultural backgrounds.
The document discusses Thomas Watson, the founder of IBM, who did not fire a senior manager who made a costly $3 million mistake, saying "You don’t think I would let you go after I just spent $3Million to train you." This story illustrates IBM's culture of investing in developing and retaining employees, even after costly mistakes, rather than immediately terminating them.
This document summarizes key points from a book about leadership in an aging workforce. It discusses how the US workforce is aging as lifespans increase. By 2030, millennials will outnumber baby boomers. Each generation has different traits that affect their work styles. As the workforce becomes more diverse in age, gender, ethnicity and other factors, managers must consider varying perspectives. The future will require adapting to technological changes and retaining both older and younger employees. Leaders need self-awareness and must develop different skills to effectively manage a multigenerational workforce.
This document provides information and guidance for career advisors working with baby boomer clients over 50. It discusses establishing rapport, understanding the characteristics and barriers this population faces, and addressing myths and stereotypes about older workers. Helpful tools for advisors include assessing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT analysis), Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessments, and exploring "encore careers" that combine income, purpose and impact in the second half of life. The goal is to effectively assist older workers in finding new careers, jobs and education as this population faces longer unemployment and age discrimination.
This document discusses three common change management models: Lewin's change model, McKinsey 7-S model, and Kotter's 8-step change model. Lewin's model involves three phases - unfreezing, moving, and refreezing. The McKinsey 7-S model examines seven elements - strategy, structure, systems, shared values, style, staff, and skills. Kotter's 8-step model provides an orderly process for preparing for and accepting change. The document also discusses research methods used in a related study on organizational change and communication.
Catitalizing on the Changing World of Work By Sherry Myersmyersse
The document discusses how companies can adapt to changing workplace demographics and expectations of different generations in the workforce. It highlights that companies need to recognize non-traditional employees and work arrangements, promote an authentic employment brand on multiple platforms, and meet technology expectations of younger generations. Companies also need flexible policies that support work-life balance and growth opportunities to engage talent. Embracing these changes will allow companies to stay ahead of the curve in the changing world of work.
This document provides an introduction to the study of careers. It discusses how careers have become less predictable due to changes in the workplace such as increased globalization, cost cutting, outsourcing, and technological advances. It also discusses how the psychological contract between employers and employees has shifted from long-term loyalty to short-term flexibility. The document aims to help readers understand effective career management and develop skills to manage their careers throughout various workplace changes and stages of life.
Running Head: DISCRIMINATION 1

Age Discrimination
Workplace discrimination happens when a person receives cruel or unequal treatment attributable to his or her ethnicity, faith, national origin, disability or military status, or other constitutionally covered characteristics. Race is one of the most significant issues that individuals encounter in the workforce, and it has to be handled with authority. There are growing types of prejudice that most exist in the workforce. One way to express bigotry is to refuse one a position because of one's race or gender or view another negatively because of one's race or gender. Discrimination may contribute to the removal of a career, and probably anything detrimental to oneself or to the provocateur. Age discrimination is a problem today, particularly as employers try to escape having to fund pensions or insurance costs and do so by dismissing older workers who may be about to contribute in their pension or may need medical care. Another explanation is that ageing workers can be compensated more than recent recruits, so it is for this purpose that businesses replace older staff with new ones (Directgov. 2011). This form of reform is in comparison to those who are inherently racist towards older workers who are taking the chance to abolish older employment to usher in fresh blood age prejudice primarily affects the aged (60 +) and younger (14-17) in their early adolescence. Because of their era, many Americans were killed, pushed into retirement or turned away from a job. Employers aged over are discriminated against. Employers are more inclined than the elderly to recruit a worker who is much younger and more desirable. Employers do tend to employ workers who can do the necessary job. This is another form of discrimination toward elderly citizens, if they may be really capable of doing the job. "The 1975 Age Discrimination Act prohibits discrimination in services and practices based on age.
The effect of discrimination among the elderly people is closely related to different cultural attitudes in that most of the people tend to believe that the elderly are not in a position of providing quality work output compared to the young people. Therefore such culture encourages the discrimination practices in different institutions or organizations against the old workers. Nevertheless, when it comes to wages and salaries, the young employees tend to be discriminated through being paid a substantial amount of salary as compared to the old people, yet they are assigned the same duty working along even hours.
Cultural issues
Age discrimination is one of the strongest kinds of prejudice, inclu.
IN THIS SUMMARY
Throughout human history, most countries have had more young people than old people. This is no longer true in the United States and is even less true in most western European countries and Japan. Between 2010 and 2040, the numbers of elderly Americans will more than double while the non-elderly population will grow by just ten percent. As the United States workforce ages, some analysts and researchers are projecting a labor shortage and a corresponding job boom in the next decade. As a result, there will be a gap in the availability of an educated and trained pool of skilled workers to fill organizational needs. In The Boomer Retirement Time Bomb, Donald L. Venneberg and Barbara Welss Eversole endeavor to shed some light on the issues connected to retaining, and even recruiting, talent from the pool of senior experienced workers.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

7. Is “age” a disability under the ADA requiring reasonable accommodation? NO.
8. But many older workers develop medical conditions that may rise to the level of disabilities particularly under the new ADA amendments. The result is that many older workers may need reasonable accommodations.
9. What Is A Reasonable Accommodation? Any change in the work environment or in the way things are customarily done that enables an employee with an ADA disability to perform the essential functions of the job.
10. May an employer apply the same quantitative and qualitative requirements for performance to disabled employees? Yes. Lowering or changing a production standard because an employee cannot meet it due to a disability is not considered a reasonable accommodation.
11. If an employee’s disability causes violation of a conduct rule, may the employer discipline the individual? Yes, if the conduct rule is job-related and consistent with business necessity. The ADA does not protect employees from the consequences of violating conduct requirements even where the conduct is caused by the disability.
12.
13. Does the ADA require that employers exempt employees with disabilities from time and attendance requirements? No. An employer need not completely exempt an employee from time and attendance requirements, grant open-ended schedules (e.g., the ability to arrive or leave whenever the employee’s disability necessitates) or accept irregular, unreliable attendance.
14. You must, however, consider whether the FMLA plays a role in the application of attendance policies.
