A NOTE FROM THE S-AGE:
Carleen, Brad and Phil Newbold are busy researching and writing their new book, a second book in their planned Boomer trilogy. The Return of the Boomers answers the questions as to why leaders of U.S. organizations and mature workers must adapt to the future and what roles both play in this competitive new world.
They asked that I share a bit of their research with you (excerpted from the book) in order to prompt you to study the facts as to why America is at high risk in terms of our aging workforce and consumers. Here are a few highlights of some of the research and studies that they trust you will find critically important to read.

"Ernst & Young's recent report entitled 2007 Aging U.S. Workforce Survey: Challenges and Responses – An Ongoing Review confirms that employers are still not deliberate in their planning for the generational shift. Their results demonstrate that a serious approach to planning must happen NOW despite limited resources, escalating responsibilities and increased regulations. The survey is either still available on-line or upon request from your local E&Y representative. Pay particular attention to Ernst and Young and Oxford Analytica's Strategic Business Risk 2008 – the Top 10 Risks for Business, 2007.
The IBM Global Human Capital Study of 2008 reports that organizations must have an integrated talent management model that "addresses the employee lifecyle." Some of their most captivating research, such as: "Unlocking the DNA of the Adaptable Workforce" is available on-line or upon request of IBM.
A recent Robert Half survey asked for feedback from 150 senior executives of the nation's largest companies. The survey asked just one question: "Which of the following trends do you think will most significantly alter the workforce in the next decade?"
What was the #1 response?
Baby Boomer retirements.
Spherion, one of the nation's largest staffing and recruiting firms offers you their Emerging Workforce Studies featuring regular updates to information that echoes the need for a substantial mature workforce presence in all U.S. businesses.
Other surveys, white papers and reports are available through McKinsey, Towers Perrin, Watson Wyatt, AARP, Manpower, Adecco and many more. Most are available on request."
Do your part, read and learn. You will soon see why you must help sound a fire alarm for America's economy, America's organizations and the American people.
Americans – You are the solution
but you have got to smell the smoke!
