Benefits Think 5 workplace benefits boomers need now

Published Updated 3 Min Read

Millennials have dominated the national conversation for the past decade, but in all the talk about the newest members of the workforce, we’ve somehow missed their parents — baby boomers. With workers 55 and older projected to make up 25% of the U.S. labor force by 2020, boomers are redefining what it means to be aging in the workforce, and redefining senior benefits in the process. People today are living longer, retiring later and pursuing passions well into their golden years. How can the workplace address the needs of these new “senior” citizens?

Corporate concierge is a workplace perk that boosts engagement, productivity and the bottom line for employers by providing personal assistance services to employees. As boomers face a whole new set of challenges and concerns, there is a huge opportunity for concierge providers and savvy employers to provide age-friendly benefits and perks for senior employees.
