The workforce is aging fast and so is the talent gap. By 2030, the world could face a shortage of 85.2 million skilled workers, costing $8.5 trillion in lost productivity. By 2050, 1 in 6 people will be over 65. Schneider Electric’s Senior Talent Program tackles this challenge head-on by empowering experienced employees, fostering a culture of upskilling and cross-generational collaboration, and ensuring no talent is left behind.

Strategic actions being taken:

  • Identifying the diverse and unique aspirations of our senior talent and creating a portfolio of offers to empower them accordingly.
  • Exploring flexible career paths, including coaching, mentoring, and post-retirement engagement options.
  • Enhancing engagement and loyalty through meaningful development opportunities in the later stages of careers.
  • Fostering cross-generational collaboration and knowledge exchange to boost innovation and productivity across all generations.
  • Future-proofing the workforce with scalable global programs tailored to local demographic realities.
  • Recognizing the valuable contributions that seniors bring to the business through their expertise and skills.
