Individual and organisational predictors influencing ageing workers' employability.

An important way to improve ageing workersʼ employability is through participation in formal and informal human resource development (HRD) activities. However, older workers remain underrepresented in most forms of training and development, and company policies are hardly directed at improving older workersʼ employability through learning and development initiatives. Personal motivation and ability to learn reflect employeesʼ accountability for investments in their own development. Organisations needto promote competence development of employees, by means of, forexample, a supportive and stimulating learning climate, supervisor support,and good social relationship between employees and their supervisors. Twostudies were recently carried out to identify which individual and organisationalfactors affect employability of an ageing workforce. The most importantfindings are presented here. Based on these findings, recommendations aremade to stimulate companies to develop and implement strategies to improveageing workersʼ employability
