Making experienced employees stay in the labour market could prove difficult, when the dream of retirement beckons them to leave.

Although there has been a general trend in recent years for experienced employees to extend their working lives, more of them expect to swap their height-adjustable desk for gardening or looking after their grandchildren before time.

This is shown by a survey among Finansforbundet’s members.

Among those aged 55 years and older, 60% expect to retire at least one year before the state pension age, with 12% thereof expecting to do so more than 5 years earlier.

“In times of competition for the workforce, there are only good reasons for holding on to your experienced employees, before early retirement beckons them to leave,” says Steen Lund Madsen, Vice President of Finansforbundet, who also encourages the sector to pay less attention to the age of the employee.

“Forget all about age prejudice, and hold on to your gold,” he says.

“Show your experienced employees appreciation through upskilling and give them proof of their skills.”

What makes experienced workers stay

Finansforbundet's survey also shows what experienced employees consider especially important if they are to delay hanging up their hat.

Matters of mental health such as stress and how employees are treated by the workplace are particularly important along with family-related changes; matters that the workplaces can actually do something about.
