“Employers need to retain the talent, skill and knowledge of the triple decker sandwich generation” writes Julia Stirling in The Weekend Australian (16-17 January 2010), in an article featuring SageCo’s Alison Monroe.
Gareth Bennett from Freehills concurs. “People need to know that being a carer or a mature-age worker is not career limiting” adding that they need reassurance that they are an integral part of the firm and that leaders should encourage and indeed role model flexible work arrangements.
