The BPS Northern Ireland Annual Conference is being held on March 26-27 in Hilton Belfast Templepatrick. The theme this year focuses on ‘Promoting Psychological Wellbeing Through Partnerships’ and to explore this they have two-days packed with workshops, posters, great speakers and more.
One of the speakers is Clare. Clare is focusing on the topic of Career Management in Older Workers and is speaking on Friday 27th March at 12:00. One of Clare’s specialisms is generational diversity and so will be elaborating on one of the topics she did her thesis on.
Current demographics are showing we are all living longer and working longer. The traditional view of retirement is being challenged as more people are looking to create a longer career. Charles Handy shared his thinking on second curve careers in which we should prepare for our second careers before reaching a plateau. Using modern career theories such as portfolio careers, protean careers and boundaryless careers, how can we support our employees to think about second careers as an alternative to traditional retirement.
In this presentation, Clare will challenge some of the traditional views of organisational retirement processes and help us consider new ways of thinking of offering alternative career management options for our older workers… and for ourselves.
