Co-authored by Ken Dychtwald (Founder and CEO of Age Wave), Tamara J. Erickson (Executive Officer of The Concours Group), and Robert Morison (Executive Vice President of the Concours Group), Workforce Crisis: How To Beat The Coming Shortage Of Skills And Talent is an expert study of the baby-boom generation who are now nearing retirement, and the declining birth rates of coming generations, and what effective tactics and strategies might most effectively be utilized in assessing the impact on the general workforce available to the business community. Exploring the complex intricacies of the coming workforce issues, Workforce Crisis persuasively presents a comprehensive reference for various age groups of employees including the young (18-34), the mid-career (35-54), and the mature (55+) worker. Workforce Crisis is very strongly recommended reading for corporate level personnel managers and planners, as well small-business companies anticipating their workforce requirements in the coming years.
