Retaining Talent at All Ages
The deep and rapid changes in the world of work driven by the digital and green transformations
as well as population ageing have been associated with greater job instability, with
potential costs for companies, workers and society. The unprecedented labour and skill
shortages that emerged during the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic have raised
further the importance of developing and retaining talent. In the context of a more
age-diverse workforce, addressing this challenge will require better working conditions,
greater investments in training and tackling difficulties in reconciling work with
health issues and caring responsibilities. This report presents evidence on recent
trends in job tenure and employee turnover, how they have changed due to the COVID-19
shock and sheds light on why employees quit their jobs. It identifies key employer
and public policies that can support increased employment retention through better
job quality, health at the workplace, and training and skills.
