• The increased life expectancy and rapid technological advancements often leave organizations struggling to manage their talent without age-related biases. Programmed obsolescence and the exclusion of workers over the age of forty frequently emerge as convenient and accepted solutions.

  This research addresses the necessity to: a) comprehend and manage human talent, particularly senior employees, from a demographic change perspective that is person-centered; b) develop effective strategies for managing intergenerational teams, a fundamental aspect of diversity and inclusion (DEI); c) promote the extension of working life through lifelong learning initiatives focused on upskilling and reskilling; d) leverage the potential of senior talent through comprehensive end-to-end human resources processes designed for the exchange and transfer of skills among different generations, despite their negative implications.
