Retirees Who Returned to Work: Human and Social Capital Implications for Organizations

Abstract

SUMMARY The potential impact of the significant loss of skills and experience as the aging workforce approaches retirement is raising concerns. The shortage of workers will be driven by the beginning retirement of the skilled cohort of Baby Boomers followed by the much smaller Generation X workforce cohort. A qualitative study of the experiences of a set of retirees who have returned to the workforce provides an insight to the needs these retirees desire to have fulfilled for them to return to the workforce. The experiences of these retirees also provide insight into the human and social capital considerations organizations can use for planning and developing programs for the retention and recruitment of older workers to meet future workforce needs.
