some serious strategic thinking. One Australian organisation is tackling

the outflow of thousands of mature-age workers by 2015 with a series of

policy changes and initiatives that not only glean vital information

for the employer, but also improve the prospects for wannabe retirees.

However, a one-size-fits-all policy approach will not be effective in

all cases, warn researchers from the Australian School of Business. And

collecting data on the intentions of a growing number of mature-age

workers and their effect on the workplace is proving complicated.
