After a difficult year, which has called on some employees to significantly step up and made others put their future on hold, workers across the globe are leaving their employers in droves. Coupled with a skills shortage in key sectors such as technology, a rapidly widening talent gap is emerging. The size of this gap is predicted to rise from 3% of the global workforce in 2020 to 11% by 2030, a gap of 85.2 million workers.

Employers are also being squeezed by the demands of funding an aging population. Helping ex-employees to live a self-determined life in retirement is becoming more challenging. Our insight pieces explore realistic solutions to employers’ most pressing problems.

This article discusses how companies can ensure their pension schemes remain sustainable while supporting an aging workforce.

A self-determined future

Over the course of the pandemic, there has been a marked but uneven shift in the employer-employee power dynamic. Employees in talent-starved sectors now hold the power, offering them more opportunities to shape their careers and lifestyles.
