Talent Revolution

The Talent Revolution has been pivotal in exposing work-life longevity as the most influential driver transforming todays workplaces. It offers a competitive edge for organizations smart enough to capitalize on its lessons. In a rare turn from the norm, this book positions older workers as revolutionaries and reveals how intergenerational organizations that engage employees across all life stages will outperform their competitors. In this updated paperback edition, authors Lisa Taylor and Fern Lebo draw on their expertise in leadership and career development to offer a timely picture of the post-pandemic modern workplace defined by hybrid arrangements, shifting expectations, and evolving employee-employer dynamics. With clarity and precision, they describe new models, debunk commonly held myths about older workers, demolish justifications for traditional structures and attitudes, and build the case for a reset that will help smart companies profit from their most valuable assets, all while taking into consideration our current realities. Through case studies, metrics, strategies, and tactics, The Talent Revolution explores the impact of supercharged workforce demographics on the future of work, and offers new, actionable strategies for transforming an aging workforce into a competitive advantage. Plotting new directions for both organizations and employees, Taylor and Lebo guide us towards the opportunities that come with leaving behind outdated career models and embracing longer working life expectancies in the workplace.
