Hi folks, from today I will also be 'tweeting'', as we used to say in the old days, from my new @bluesky account: bsky.app/profile/davela… Hope you see you there!
📢New research! Our latest report for the Commission for #HealthierWorkingLives, supported by @HealthFdn, reveals that the UK’s ill health ‘employment gap’ is among the widest in the EU. Read the report: bit.ly/3EdbqNL 1/
Sad to see David Lodge has died. Nobody writes novels about university life like that anymore, which is a shame as there are plenty of satirical potential to be had today! theguardian.com/books/2025/jan…
Just received Ariane Agunsoye's excellent new book 'Rethinking Financial Behaviour', which critiques 'rational investor' assumptions of pensions policy & considers alternatives. Part of @BrisUniPress Rethinking Work, Ageing & Retirement Series. Preorder: bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/rethinking-fin…
A pro-worker Labour Government must scrap the "any jobs" approach to welfare policy I am cautiously optimistic! 📢New article from me for @futures_of_work > futuresofwork.co.uk/2024/07/23/a-p…

Looking forward to reading Teresa Ghilarducci's new book, 'Work, Retire, Repeat' (@tghilarducci). Opinion piece below gives a flavour (with some interesting reflections for UK): Opinion: 'Work longer' is no solution for people who can't afford to retire latimes.com/opinion/story/…

Opinion: 'Work longer' is no solution for people who can't afford to retire
When a 91-year-old grocery clerk can't retire without a GoFundMe campaign, the nation has a serious problem. We know how to fix it.
In partnership with @ShawProject, drawing on key insights from our research. University of Edinburgh Business School were very pleased to host this event, we look forward to meaningful engagement with @Emma_Roddick on Supporting Healthy Ageing at Work @uoebusiness @uebsresearch
Equalities Minster @Emma_Roddick has told attendees at an @agescotland event that over-50s workers are an under-valued resource to the economy. @ScotGov has funded Age Scotland and its partners to deliver training for 1,500 managers in creating age-inclusive workplaces.
I think this event on supporting older workers will be of interest to fellow @CIPD HR professionals in the North East. @CIPD_NE @CIPD_North please spread the word and get in touch if anyone has questions.
Are you a manager or HR Professional interested in supporting older workers? Come to this free Newcastle University ‘Supporting Healthy Ageing at Work’ event on 16 Jan. Expert insights & opportunity to view innovative solutions from the @ShawProject... shaw.business-school.ed.ac.uk/events/support…
