Listen "The 50+ Talent Pool: Why Employers Can’t Ignore It—This Isn’t Just Inclusion, It’s Survival {Ep. 71}"
Episode Synopsis
What if the most overlooked talent in your organisation… was also the most loyal, emotionally intelligent, and resilient?
The over-50 workforce isn’t slowing down.
But many companies still treat them like they’re winding down.
In this episode, leadership coach and corporate trainer Andrea Ross sits down with Natalie Hall, Chief Commercial Officer at 55/Redefined, to unpack what most employers are missing—and why tapping into this dynamic demographic isn’t just the “right” thing to do…
…it’s a business necessity.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
✅The real business case for hiring over-50s (hint: it’s not charity—it’s strategy)
✅Why older workers are 5x more likely to stick around (and how to keep them)
✅Where companies are failing in recruiting and retaining late-career talent
✅How to design roles, benefits, and cultures that speak to a multigenerational workforce
✅What not to do if you want to be seen as age-inclusive
Stats that might surprise you:
- By 2031, 1 in 4 workers will be over 55
- Holding negative beliefs about ageing can cut your life expectancy by 7.6 years
- Most over-50s value flexibility and purpose more than salary
Questions we answer:
- Why do so many companies overlook this group?
- Where do you actually find 50+ talent?
- What’s the #1 mistake businesses make when trying to be age-inclusive?
- If you lead people and want to future-proof your workforce—this is the episode you can’t skip.
Listen now and rethink what “experienced” really means.
