TAEN has collaborated with the AARP, the largest US membership organisation for people aged 50+, to produce a UK version of their Workforce Assessment Tool.

The online tool can help employers assess their current and future workforce needs and enables HR managers to:

•  assess how retiring workers will affect their organisation
• address skill shortage challenges due to staff attrition
• create a work environment that attracts qualified workers of all ages
• manage a multi-generational workforce
• build an employer brand that attracts and retains top talent.

 The UK Workforce Assessment Tool questionnaire takes about 30 minutes to complete. It covers the following topics:

• Employee age demographics
• Potential skills shortages
• Knowledge retention
• Flexible working arrangements
• Training and development opportunities
• Benefits (health and financial)
• Physical work environment
• Good working environment
• Recruitment policy and practices.

Once completed, a customised summary report will be generated based on your responses.

The tool is free to use.  The information provided by users and the feedback generated by the tool are completely confidential. TAEN and AARP will not review or publish an individual employer’s information provided in the survey or accompanying report.
