| Abstract: | Older adults are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. workforce, bringing experience, stability, and mentorship at a time of persistent labor shortages. This article argues that employers must move beyond traditional retention strategies toward purpose-driven, age-friendly workplaces that support connection, flexibility, and caregiver needs. Drawing on national research and the practice of AgeGuide Northeastern Illinois, it highlights the advocacy role of Area Agencies on Aging, the importance of social connectedness, and innovative models such as Workplace Caregiver Navigators.
