The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts a significant increase in workers age 65 and older over the next 10 years. The number of workers between the age of 65-74 is expected to increase by 83.4%. And according to a new study by the Wharton Pension Research Council, a significant number of employees are delaying retirement due to losses suffered by their 401(k)s.

Unfortunately, as employees remain in the workforce longer, employers face more incidents of age-biased complaints. The EEOC recovered $66.8 million in monetary benefits for age discrimination complaints in 2007, and the numbers are rising.

Learn how to manage the legal challenges associated with an aging workforce by participating in the all-new audio conference, How to Manage Boomers and Seniors: Strategies for Avoiding Age Discrimination Claims.

In just 90 minutes, nationally-recognized employment law and HR expert Candace Kollas will show you new talent management techniques that appeal to your older workers and how to reduce the risk of age discrimination complaints. In just 90 minutes, your speaker will cover:

• Your changing workforce demographic: Senior and Boomers are working longer. How do both groups view the concept of work?
• Communication styles your managers can use to engage your older workers
• Management strategies you can use to capture retiring Boomers’ organizational knowledge, including phased retirement programs
• It’s never too late to learn: training and development ideas that appeal to your more seasoned employees
• Why the growing demographic of Boomers and Seniors can increase your chances of dealing with an age discrimination complaint
• Why age discrimination is now one of the most serious legal threats facing employers
• Specific actions that invite age discrimination claims, and how to shield your older workers from these types of actions
• Why employers now are vulnerable not only to age discrimination claims, but to "age harassment claims"
• Your next course of action if an employee doesn’t want to retire, and how you should respond to a worker who says he wants to work until he’s 75
• Can a younger employee claim discrimination when an older employee receives favorable treatment?
