Alliance for Action on Empowering Multi-Stage Careers for Mature Workers (AfA-EMW)

1. The Alliance for Action on Empowering Multi-Stage Careers for Mature Workers (AfA-EMW) was convened under the ambit of the Tripartite Workgroup on Senior Employment to bring together diverse stakeholders to co-create innovative ideas in support of senior employment.

2. The AfA-EMW aims to empower mature workers to stay productive and relevant, while supporting employers to develop age-friendly jobs and multi-generational workplaces. The AfA-EMW intends to partner with 32 organisations (see Annex A), with funding support available for those who come on board to co-create solutions in the following areas:

(a) Training and Career Guidance: Provide upskilling, reskilling and career planning support best suited to the needs of mature workers to stay relevant

(b) Job Matching: Provide support to hire, train and retain mature workers to adapt to evolving workforce needs

(c) Alternative Employment Models: Redesigning work processes or job roles, for mature workers to take on flexi-load arrangements

(d) Phased Retirement: Schemes/processes to encourage mature workers to take on structured mentorship or transition into stepped-down roles.
