Description

The chapter explores the intricate relationship between cognitive ergonomics and late career employees, emphasizing the challenges and opportunities of an aging workforce. It combines research findings and case studies to understand how cognitive aging affects job performance and satisfaction. A central theme is the importance of technology training and support for older workers. As technology advances, organizations must ensure their older employees have the skills to navigate these changes. This includes training in new software and tools, and ongoing support. Flexible work arrangements are also crucial, reducing stress and fatigue from long commutes and rigid schedules. Health screenings and age-friendly workplaces are key. Regular health screenings and access to healthcare can address physical and cognitive challenges. Designing workspaces and processes for older workers fosters inclusivity and diversity. In conclusion, the chapter offers recommendations for organizations to leverage the late career workforce. 2024 by IGI Global. All rights reserved.
