Working longer, living better – What companies can do

Many companies have introduced flexible working time often as a way to meet the needs or preferences of older workers to work less and to have more autonomy in deciding their hours. A wide range of work schedules has developed to reflect different needs to balance work and non-work commitments. This fact sheet forms part of the Eurofound resource pack on ‘Working Longer, Living Better – Europe’s coming of age’. The pack explores the impact of an ageing society and workforce, providing insights into developments at EU, national and company level.
