The survey found that while many organizations have begun preparing for potential skills gaps as older workers retire, preparation efforts are still in early stages for many. 40% of organizations have conducted strategic workforce planning assessments to identify future workforce needs over the next 5 years. Regarding replacing retiring older workers with younger workers, 27% of organizations are just becoming aware of this issue as a potential problem. Nearly half of organizations believe the loss of older workers' talent and skills over the next decade could potentially cause problems for their organization or industry.
