Delayed Retirement Means an Aging Work Force

Delayed Retirement Means an Aging Work Force (PLANADVISER.com)

"Although tenure is often thought of as positive, it has the potential for conflict. Some of the adverse effects of employees working longer than they or the organization had anticipated include: Depleting the next generation of workers, who may look elsewhere for opportunities if they see their prospects for advancement being put on hold. A drop in productivity if some employees continue working merely because they cannot afford to retire. A cost increase in benefit programs in tandem with health and disability plan usage, which can be expected from an aging work force."
