Hartford, CT, August 23, 2006 AGW The Aging Workforce Summit the only conference on solutions for dealing with the bottom-line financial and personnel pressures of our nations aging workforce will be October 26-27, 2006 at the Mid-America Club Chicago.
Presented by Prudential Financial, AGW provides financial, retirement benefits and human resources decision-makers with presentations from leading experts in the issues of retirement funding, healthcare, work-life solutions, succession planning and the retention of institutional intelligence.
This conference focuses on the business-critical and rapidly escalating issue of an aging workforce, which has significant global implications, and we are pleased to be a presenting sponsor, said Deanna Garen, SVP of Strategic Planning, Prudential Retirement at Prudential Financial, Inc., and a member of the AGW Conference Leadership Committee. Today's business leaders must plan now to solve the problems created by generational workforce-shifts before their companies lose the ability to serve their customers, effectively grow their businesses, and generate acceptable ROI despite dramatically higher retirement, healthcare, and labor costs.
Americas aging workforce, retirement issues, pensions and healthcare have been hot topics in trade journals and mainstream media, said Nan McCann, President of PME Enterprises and producer of AGW. While everyone is talking about the need to address these issues, the topic has been relegated to a sidebar at most HR and financial industry conferences. AGW is the only national conference dedicated to how to address these issues.
AGW will provide insight and solutions to help senior HR, finance and benefits professionals understand and solve their organizations age-driven challenges such as retirement savings shortfalls, pension funding, healthcare costs, and lost intellectual capital and their combined impact on their companys bottom line.
HR professionals listed rising healthcare costs and increasing numbers of retiring baby boomers among the top 10 trends that will have the biggest impact on the American workplace in the next decade (1). And surveys show that even though 70-80% of executives at big companies are concerned about the coming brain drain, fewer than 20% have begun to do anything about it (2).
