Powering Senior Talent in the Age of Skill Shortages and Demographic Shifts
Oct 22, 2025 — 12:35 pm - 1:00 PMRoom W7

Description
The workforce is aging fast and so is the talent gap. By 2030, the world could face a shortage of 85.2 million skilled workers, costing $8.5 trillion in lost productivity. By 2050, 1 in 6 people will be over 65. Schneider Electric's Senior Talent Program tackles this challenge head-on by empowering experienced employees, fostering a culture of upskilling and cross-generational collaboration, and ensuring no talent is left behind.
Strategic actions being taken:
• Identifying the diverse and unique aspirations of our senior talent and creating a portfolio of offers to empower them accordingly.
• Exploring flexible career paths, including coaching, mentoring, and post-retirement engagement options.
• Enhancing engagement and loyalty through meaningful development opportunities in the later stages of careers.
• Fostering cross-generational collaboration and knowledge exchange to boost innovation and productivity across all generations.
• Future-proofing the workforce with scalable global programs tailored to local demographic realities.
• Recognizing the valuable contributions that seniors bring to the business through their expertise and skills.
