  • Gaining synergies through HRM practices [Elektronski vir] : aging workforce and lifelong learning (conceptual paper)
    Babnik, Katarina ; Trunk Širca, Nada
    The aim of the article is to describe and explain how the guidelines given by the European Commission in the set of policies concerning the retention and employment of older workers, can be utilised ... to achieve intergenerational synergies in the organisations. Approach: The concept of intergenerational synergies (in organisations) is discussed from the perspective of human resource management function (age management), from the perspective of the current higher education system in EU, especially from the perspective of the lifelong learning system, and from the well-established concept in gerontology- intergenerational approaches. Findings: The conceptual model of determinants of effective age management practices is developed and discussed. Value: Today, the ageing population and a low rate of active older adults on the labour market are among the key issues to which the EU countries respond by a single objective: extending the active working life period. The inclusion of older adults and elderly persons into various work forms has not merely brought about direct economic effects on individuals, organisations and societies. Some more recent research shows that the attitudes toward older workers have been changing; Nevertheless, this age group of workers still feels discriminated, which implies that a change in attitudes is not accompanied by a change in the HRM practices in the organisations. The conceptual definition of intergenerational synergies in organisations and practical guidelines for the implementation of age management practices that support synergic effects, have therefore theoretical and practical value.
