TIME	Wednesday, June 16, 2021 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM
PLACE	This will be an online meeting via ZOOM.
SPEAKER	AnneMarie Levy Neuroscientist and Clinical Research Coordinator at Wlfred Laurier University.
TOPICS	Notes from AnneMarie: Employers are facing a host of challenges as they grapple with if and how employees should return to work during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. However, progressive employers are moving beyond these immediate issues, and thinking about the larger challenges of a changing workforce. Top among those issues are demographics. Our workforce is aging and issues such as intergenerational dynamics, filling the talent pipeline, and improving productivity using innovative processes and technologies, are challenging assumptions about how we build effective intergenerational work teams. By 2030, the last of the Boomers will be over 65. Yet, many will either not want to, or will not be able to afford to, retire. While research tells us that some age-related decline in brain health can start in healthy educated adults as early as their 20s and 30s, the likelihood of workers experiencing cognitive decline from age-related disease is higher in workers who are older. In fact, the earliest symptoms of mild cognitive impairment and/-or early onset dementia (MCI\|EOD) are often detected in the workplace; with more sensitive diagnostic tools, and workers staying longer on the job, this trend is expected to rise. Cog@Work is a program of research, funded by AGE-WELL NCE (www.agewell-nce.ca) that is exploring if and how employers are preparing to optimize the productivity of an aging workforce, and in particular workers diagnosed with MCI\|EOD. While we know that the goal of many employers is to create sustainable and inclusive workplaces for all, we need to gain a better appreciation of the challenges that employers face in achieving this. We hope to work with organizations to develop supportive technologies and to gather insights into how progressive organizations can respond to this challenge!
