Age Impact

Our age impact practice helps both employees and employers understand how age impacts their business, both within the ranks of their employees and how they interact with customers. Understanding age impact can be a valuable asset to a company as they modify their perspectives and practices for optimal performance.

Not just a topic for boomers entering retirement, age impact is all about your workforce performing at optimal potential.

Motivation and Reward

How do you motivate the different generations? Millenials want fast rewards this week. Boomers are willing to wait for the Annual bonus.

Retention

How can you help your key people think long-term? Help your employees plan for a more secure retirement, financially and socially.

Communication

Ever heard of GenBlending? It's strategic planning maximizing the knowledge of each generation in the company.

The New Retirement

How do you prepare Boomers who want to continue to work? How do you prepare your company? Be ready to think in new ways about standards like compensation.

“Older workers are mature, they’re responsible, they have most of their family problems behind them, they aren’t hung up on day care, they’ve been around and appreciate what it takes to run a company, they have a tremendously good attitude and don’t think the world owes them a living,”; says David Birch, president of Cognetics, a corporate research firm in Cambridge, MA. “I would love to have a labor force of people 50 and over.”

Demographics in the workforce are changing dramatically. Each of the three generations currently coexisting in the labor market have different skills and strengths. They even speak different languages.

Companies have to change how they do business and our age impact practice provides a proven roadmap for that change.

Even the way companies interact with their customers has to change. Different generations respond in different ways to the same sales techniques, and what works on boomers may turn off millenials. We’ll help you understand how age impacts your customers as well as your employees.

Technology is playing a big part in the generation gap - both in creating it and overcoming it. We can show you how it fits into a solution for your company along with other important components.

Personal retirement planning isn't just for boomers and it isn't just about finances. We’ll help workers of all ages understand the importance and process of planning the social side of their retirement.

Big-picture strategic planning for your business can be more effective if you combine the strengths and specific knowledge of each generation. Gen-blending can provide broader perspective and sheds light on the whole process. This in turn motivates younger employees since they have a greater understanding of what it takes to reach the top.

Standard employee rewards and recognition don't work the same across generations either. Opt�mance's age impact professionals will work with you to change your communication and motivation to recognize those different employees in a unique and special way.

We can work with your leadership team to help them integrate younger employees and identify high potentials. We can educate all of them, as part of your retention program, on planning for retirement. We can coach the leadership team on transition.
