abstract: 'Based on surveys taken in the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic, it is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
safe to say that employing people from the 50+ age category is not very
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
attractive for today''s organizations. This, however, should change.
|

|
|
|

|
|
Experts shed light on some of the benefits employing the elders has.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They continue by disproving that older employees do not have sufficient
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
potential for learning.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Experts further propose that organization begin implementing a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
management system considerate to the employee''s age age management,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
including recommendations in fields such as health care, job
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
restructuring, adapting to work organization, shift management according
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to impulses by employees and other. (E-sondy.cz, 2012)

Age management is a term used for activities, the purpose of which is to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
support the complex approach towards dealing with demographical changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
at the workplace. Legitimate practice in age management was defined as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
measures contending with the age barrier or supporting diversity and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
activities ensuring each employee receives the opportunity to fulfill
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
his or her potential and is not at a disadvantage due to age.

The article introduces the results of the quantitative and qualitative
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
research that was conducted by the author while writing his doctoral
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
thesis, which was focused on personnel management and specific features
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of employees of the age group 50+ in Czech and Slovak organizations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results from the article predominantly focus on the philosophy of age
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
management and its role in Czech and Slovak organizations, both from the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
viewpoint of employees and from the viewpoint of managements from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
addressed organizations.

The article attempts to point out the potential and personal know-how
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
50+ employees have, and which employers could appreciate and utilize for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their competitiveness. Furthermore, it is necessary to realize that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
establishing age diversity within work groups or teams will become
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inevitable. Company culture, which should support the complex approach
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to the entire philosophy of age management, also plays an important role
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in implementing age management into the organization. Also considered
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significant will be providing effective training of managers in order
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for them to successfully implement company strategy and processes and to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
further support employee age diversity. This step shall help improve the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relations between organization management and all employees, which will
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
comprehensively reflect on the image of the organization that will be
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
considered as an organization implementing the policies of individual
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
approach to each employee.'
