Do the math and observe the restoring economy

The next 5-7 years will be a recruiting and retention nightmare for organizations if they fail to be employers-of-choice to boomers facing retirement age. Many need or want to continue working, which is good news for the workplace, since there are only 54 million Xers to fill the 76 million places boomers now occupy. Critchley lays it all out and helps us confront the challenge. His message is timely, clear and actionable. Reading his latest book is not an option.

An absolute must read.

Robert has done a great job of capturing the audience from the outset. It is highly evident a great deal of research, thought and development has been undertaken to produce this book which is full of practical solutions for leaders to implement in these times of changing demographics and the ageing of our workforces. This excellent resource should be embraced by all organisations to ensure they are successful in these times of inevitable change.

Timely and compelling - must read!

Critchley provides a fresh perspective with insightful and practical solutions. He impresses as an expert in this area and comes from a background of real life experience (rather than just theory). It's a must read for leaders and HR professionals alike.
