For more than 15 years, Bosch has. operated aprogram that allows retirees, dubbed “senior experts,” to rejointhe company for contract periods to work on special projects. The advantagesare immediately apparent - theseworkers bring decades of knowledgeand experience to atask and can beimmediately productive with no trainingand little guidance. The Generations**[ta]**ork program, which began at BASFin 2006, includes health management. initiatives focused on improving. physical ftness as well as preventionand screening, ongoing professional.development training, flexible schedules,and opportunities for intergenerational. teamwork to maximize gains and. maintain productivity amidthe shifting. workforce demographics.

Whetherthe employee is aging on thejob or returns to work following retirement,the benefts for younger employees are. vast. One ofthe great drawbacks of thetraditional retirement model, particularly. when there’s ashortage of younger. workers coming intothe system, isthe loss of older workers’ institutional. knowledge and experience. By making. multigenerational workplacesthe new. norm, these forward-thinking companiesare ensuring thatthe next generation of leaders hasthe invaluable opportunity to learn from their predecessors.

These types of working arrangements,which emphasize flexibility, shorter-term. goals, and opportunities to work from. home, appeal to older workers not only. from afnancial perspective, but also. from ahealth perspective. Research on. aging supportsthe notion thatthe human. brain is far more likely to suffer from. underuse than overuse, and that contrary to earlier beliefs,the brain retains. some degree of plasticity for alifetime.

The concept of aneural network that.developsin afrenzyin infancy and early. childhood, then peaksin effciency until. midlife, when it slowly and irreparably.declines, has been replaced by amodelthat portraysthe living brain as continually. responsive, its circuitry changing to adapt to new activities and experiences.
