To meet the changing demand, a Mercer report investigates the current state of affairs within the realm of age friendly employment options and preparations among both employers and employees. The report is developed from a wide range of sources to capture the UK situation from multiple angles and stakeholders. The HR consulting firm worked with the Trades Union Congress (TUC), De Poel (a leading expert in temporary recruitment), and the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC). A survey was completed by 69 companies, of which 49% are listed, 42% are privately held, and 9% not-for-profit. More than two-thirds are headquartered in the UK. More than 3.4 million employees are represented by these employers.
