Introduction:
Though the government has done much to prepare for an ageing population with the 2012 Retirement & Re-employment Act as its latest initiative to manage the impacts of a greying society, corporations have been slow to follow. The large scale loss of expertise, a growing shortage of young talent and eldercare challenges are just some of the real human capital issues that you could be facing in 5 years time.

Supported by Ministry of Manpower (MOM), National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), Tripartite Alliance for Fair Employment Practices (TAFEP), Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF), Singapore Business Federation (SBF) and Singapore Indian Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SICCI), Age Friendly Workforce Asia (AFWA) is Asia’s first human capital forum on healthy ageing and lifelong employability that is focused on helping organisations stay ahead of the 2012 Retirement & Re-employment Act.

This inaugural conference will see Singapore’s biggest employers like CapitaLand Group, DBS Bank, IBM, Jurong Port, Siemens, The Hour Glass and McDonald’s come together to change mindsets – that managing an ageing workforce doesn’t start and end with your mature employees – and share insights through actual case studies and interactive panel discussions.

Conference highlights include:
  • The biggest challenges in hiring and retaining mature workers
  • The impact of age friendliness on workplace productivity
  • How to develop an all inclusive, positive and high energy working environment
  • The economic advantages of employing and retaining mature workers
  • Top 5 health challenges facing senior executives in the corporate workplace
  • Discover what else is on the agenda

    Guests-of-honour:
    Day One: Mr Tan Chuan-Jin, Minister of State for National Development & Manpower
    Day Two: Dr Amy Khor, Minister of State for Health
