What are the challenges of working longer? How do we create age-friendly workplaces?
The South Australian Council of Social Service (SACOSS) and Council on the Ageing (COTA) are hosting this important community event.
Professor Barbara Pocock, Emeritus Professor at the University of SA and former director of the Centre for Work/Life, will talk about her research in this area and help uncover strategies to help both workers and their employers plan for the future.
Juanita Walker, CEO of Whyalla Aged Care will share their initiatives to embrace older workers, as well as the benefits this has brought to the organisation.
Over lunch there will be the opportunity to choose between two workshops. Managers and HR folk can look at policies and practices to support positive ageing, and workers can look at areas to help plan for the future.
When: Wednesday 11 August, 11 am to 2 pm
Where: City Hall – Main Corner (entry via Cave Garden) Watson Terrace, Mount Gambier
RSVPs: are essential to sacoss@sacoss.org.au
