    "Older, wiser and a lot of them The world is on the cusp of a staggering rise in the number of old people, and they will live longer than ever before. Over the next 20 years the global population of those aged 65 or more will almost double, from 600m to 1.1 billion. The experience of the 20th century, when greater longevity translated into more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many observers that this shift will lead to slower economic growth and "secular stagnation", while the swelling ranks of pensioners will bust government budgets. But the notion of a sharp division between the working young and the idle old misses a new trend, the growing gap between the skilled and the unskilled. Employment rates are falling among younger unskilled people, whereas older skilled folk are working longer. The divide is most extreme in America, where well-educated baby-boomers are putting off retirement while many less-skilled younger people have dropped out of the workforce."

    Article from 1995 when employee leasing was huge in Florida. "The National Assn. of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO) says 2,178 leasing companies leased 1.6 million workers in 1993. Though Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation does not keep statistics on the number of employees leased in Florida, the largest company in the state (as well as the nation), Bradenton-based Staff Leasing Inc., reports more than 60,000 employees - almost double the work force of Walt Disney World - at 5,800 companies across the nation."

  • But what impact does this new more virtual workforce have on employee engagement and development?  That question is increasingly on the minds of leading employers, as telework moves from the fringes to the mainstream for talent-minded companies.
  • The workforce is currently in a period of significant adjustment – moving from one way of doing business to another.  While workplace technology has caught up to this new remote working style, the leadership and management practices of most institutions still need refining to support this new workforce. 
  • “elastic workplace”.[4]

  • Development:  Conscious and Culturally Competent Management
  • Companies that use this approach to pro bono engagement – placing their emerging talent in the hot seat of managing that challenge to test and develop their flexible leadership capabilities, while simultaneously delivering real value to nonprofit organizations, are earning a return on talent that far outweighs their investment in such programs. 
  • Engagement:  Loyalty and Purpose
  • n response, Common Impact has championed ”virtual skilled service” as a solution and an equalizer in this environment.  Most team-based nonprofit consulting projects can take place almost entirely remotely – particularly with the advances in video conferencing that make far-off colleagues feel closer.  When everyone on the team is engaging virtually, it removes the feeling of being the “other” that remote or flex-time employees can sometimes have.  We’ve seen, to our surprise, that our nonprofit clients gravitate towards these virtual engagements as well, allowing them to engage their increasingly remote workforces and make the most of everyone’s limited time and capacity.

  • Employers are scrambling to figure out how to attract and retain this new more flexible, entrepreneurial, and purpose-driven workforce. 
  • hile this is certainly not true for every employee, one of the greatest and growing challenges that Common Impact hears from companies is that employees vocalize an enormous demand for wanting to give back to the community – but then don’t sign up for the opportunities that their employers provide. 
  • No level of creative marketing and or well-placed engagement carrot can replace the empathy and experience that drives true engagement.  We need to connect our people more deeply, more simply, to the people we’re trying to serve through our community impact work.

  • "Technology is an enabler; it is not the solution," he adds. Further, using high-tech tools can be a solitary act that creates "unintended opportunities for isolation. This idea that people are going to get all their socialization through the Internet is just not going to happen.""People think that somehow boomers are going to trump biology" in terms of being able to stay technically proficient as they get older, Collins says, "but it's not going to happen."People with Parkinson's, for example, face challenges in using most of the small, touch-screen devices now on the market, he observes. The new iPhone has won raves for its digital assistant, called Siri. But what if the user can't hear? Or what if they have macular degeneration and can't see the screen on a computing device?

  • Ask for referrals
  • NEVER work for free
  • But it’s amazing how many talented people will work on spec (you only get paid if the project is picked up) or lower their fees to a ridiculous level. Once you lower your fees, you just cheapened your value and said, “I’m not worth that much.” That’s a tough hole to climb out of.
  • Get serious about accounting
  • Walk away from anything that seems weird or wrong
