Podcast Connection
I am fellow traveler on this path, living the worker longer experience alongside the listeners. After leaving her longtime corporate role and embracing/exploring new ways of working, post caree, Sue became curious, how are others navigating this path, what does it look like? The growing "Silver Shift" workforce is a topic I dig into and continue to learn about- what's happening around the globe.
You can't explore new paths with an old map!

Welcome to the 60 and More Crowd Podcast I am your host Sue Plant.
Here on the podcast we shine the spotlight on the many people in their 60's and 70's and more working longer, keeping work chapter in their life. This is a Canadian based podcast with a wide global lens. Because for many of us in the 60 and More Crowd community, work isn’t over - it's evolving.
This episode explores how organizations are beginning to think differently about older workers, and what people want as they extend their working lives into longer careers.
It’s a fascinating shift in how workplaces may evolve to support age-inclusive practices and changing retirement patterns.
There is growing opportunity for organizations and employers to take similar steps as the workforce continues to age.
I’ll continue exploring this theme in upcoming episodes as part of the broader conversation on working longer and the future of work.
