In February 2006, NTUC launched its efforts to enhance the employability of older workers, in support of the recommendations of the Tripartite Committee on Employability of Older Workers.
Two teams have been set up - the Raising Effective Retirement Age Team and the Re-employment Expert Group. Together, a 4-tier framework has been created to categorise the level of commitment of companies to re-employment.
Level 1 indicates that companies are re-employing older workers on an ad-hoc basis while Level 4 affirms the companies' proactive stance and HR policy in sustainable and scalable initiatives.
Moving forward, NTUC will focus on improving HR policies on re-employment, job and workplace re-design, wage restructuring, continuous training and upgrading, and workplace health promotion to help older workers continue working beyond the retirement age of 62. |
