An introduction to The 60 and More Crowd Podcast.
Welcome to The 60 and More Crowd Podcast.
This is a show where we talk about a modern retirement shift. People in their 60’s, 70’s and more deciding to keep working in some capacity, re-defining retirement more than any previous generation. Because for those of us in the 60 and More Crowd (me too) , work isn’t over. It’s evolving. This is a Canadian based podcast with a wide global lens.
We older workers bring immense value to the marketplace.
Confirming the working longer conversation is a global conversation, in some countries more mainstream and forward thinking like Japan or Sweden- where the older workforce is a vital asset.
I am Sue Plant, the host, producer, creator and chief research officer too. I guide the conversation with listeners around the modern global workplace.
What's my background: I previously spent my career at Scholastic, and now I explore how work is evolving beyond traditional retirement.”
Join me as we walk through this!
Re-imaging what a work chapter could look like;
- Whether you're considering staying in your current role, phased/semi retirement, returning to the workforce or exploring new ventures
- In Canada where I reside, 22% of people over the age of 65 are continuing to work. Whether you're considering staying in your current role, un-retiring and returning to work or exploring new ventures, people are choosing to do so for different reasons. Japan’s 65+ workforce, high rate of participation is also spotlighted in this episode.
What's my connection and interest in the work longer topic?
- After leaving my longtime corporate career, I chose to keep working in new ways and became intrigued- how were others navigating the same path.
- This inspired me to launch the 60 and More Crowd Podcast to open the conversation and dig into the topic. I’m excited to collaborate, share insights and keep learning to keep you informed.
- Episodes are short on the go episodes less than 10 minutes. The working longer trend is a multi-layered topic. Each episode will discuss various aspects of the process and the changing global work landscape.
This is the 60 and More Crowd Podcast highlighting the growing trend of working longer. I will talk to you soon.
Please pass this on to anyone who may be interested or wanting to stay informed.
