Abstrakt
This study investigates age management implementation and its impact on employment patterns in Slovak organizations between 2021–2024. The research examines organizational responses to workforce aging challenges in a post-transition economy through a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative workforce analysis of Statistical Office data (n = 2,503) was combined with qualitative organizational assessment through key informant interviews (n = 6) to analyze employment trends across age cohorts and evaluate organizational responses. Findings reveal significant increases in older worker participation, with the 50–64 age group showing a 5.8% increase in employment rates (66.8% to 72.6%). Qualitative analysis identified six critical dimensions of successful age management implementation: technology adaptation, workplace flexibility, bidirectional knowledge transfer, professional development, health-conscious adaptations, and career continuation support. Organizations implementing comprehensive age management strategies demonstrated improved workforce retention among older employees. The findings provide empirical evidence supporting Slovakia’s active aging initiatives while highlighting challenges in gender equity and technology adaptation. This work aligns with the journal’s focus on contemporary workforce development challenges in transitional economies and contributes valuable insights for both practitioners and policy makers seeking to address the demographic shift in labor markets.
