Spirit at Work presents
Thursday, October 20, 2011 -- 12:00 - 1:30 p.m.
Aging, Retirement &
Spirituality at Work
 
with Shae Hadden and Andrew Mackey,
Co-founders, 02E Older to Elder
_________________________________________
How can organizations retain "spirit" in the workplace as employees age and retire?
As increasingly more people are laid off or retire in the next few years, what will it take for companies and organizations to sustain their core values and corporate culture? Who will provide the inspiration that retiring employees provided for corporate excellence and values (other than monetary values)?
Honoring employees’ spirit while on the job is hardly a top priority or core value for most organizations, especially as they face downsizing or retirements. Some human resources professionals and older employees might highlight the benefits of workplace spirituality, but what happens when these people retire? If their advocacy isn’t embedded in organizational values, does the role of Spirit disappear? Overall, as more and more people are retiring, what is the future of "spirit" in the workplace?
Join Shae Hadden and Andrew Mackey, Co-founders of 02E Older to Elder, as they lead a discussion of:
• What role is there for spirit in the workplace? What might be lost if it disappears?
• If Elders do not inspire excellence, corporate values and a sense of inclusiveness
in the social history of an organization, who will?
• How might a company retain its connection to its tradition of inspired work?
