Welcome to the 60 and More Crowd Podcast: Off To Work We Go trailer. I am your host, Sue Plant broadcasting from Canada.. This is a new podcast series, highlighting the 60+ Workforce, launching Monday December 23. This podcast is for you if you are rocking it or planning to in your 60's, 70's, 80's and beyond and maybe keeping a work chapter. Many people are choosing to work longer in various capacities and for a variety of reasons.

Disclaimer: I am not an career or employment coach. This podcast is inspired by my own personal journey of leaving my longtime sales/marketing role and pivoting to new flexible work chapters. During this process I became curious an delved into the topic, what's the landscape for older workers staying engaged in the workforce in various capacities. I really enjoy talking and learning about this topic. This generation grew up with no Internet, email or Google.... To solve problems and get information we had to be resourceful and rely on each other. What valuable experience we bring to the workforce as we adapt to the modern workplace!

My career work experience is rooted in the Canadian marketplace, however I will be widening the scope globally to see what's going on elsewhere. We can learn from each other. To support the older worker in the modern workplace and shine the light where there are supportive policies in place and gaps where change is required. In Canada, 20% of people and a growing trend: over the age of 65 are working longer in various capacities and for a variety of reasons.

Future episodes will focus on the work landscape, what does it look like, with a wider scope globally.
