HR Coach Research Institute announce the release of research report

The HR Coach Research Institute is pleased to announce the release of a highly anticipated research report, The Ageing Workforce Impact; Implications and Trends for 2010-2020. 

The research report was commissioned by The HR Coach Research Institute in conjunction with Dr. Marion Norton of Workforce Futures Australia. The research was undertaken to explore demographic trends in relation to the ageing population and potential consequences on the Australian workforce.   

The report will be released in January 2010 and is timely as Queensland Premiere, Anna Bligh released details of a 7 person panel created to advise the Government. The panel includes:

• Scientist Tim Flannery
• Demographer Bernard Salt
• Heather Ridout from the Australian Industry Group
• Ian Lowe from the Australian Conservation Foundation
• Architect Michael Rayner

The panel will prepare advice in preparation for a summit to be held in March 2010.

Louise Broekman, Managing Director of business coaching franchise HR Coach applauded the government’s initiative in regards to the assembly of the panel. “It is crucial that we don’t let short sightedness distract us from the bigger issues facing Australian Business. The economic rebound and looming war for talent predicted for 2010 are immediate concerns for businesses, however, the ageing workforce will have a lasting impact and will affect the Australian economy for years to come.”

The HR Coach Research Institute has prepared a white paper that outlines the significance of the issue and the potential opportunity the ageing workforce presents.

A copy of the Ageing Workforce Impact; Implications and Trends for 2010-2020 White Paper can be obtained from HR Coach.
