Sussannah Kelly, president and managing director of Boyden global executive search in Toronto, says she is seeing a growing number of older, high-performing workers in senior roles losing their positions to younger, less expensive replacements. Many can't find new jobs precisely for the same reason. And many have either inadequate pensions or no access to them yet.
These older workers still have a lot to contribute, and often need to work, for both financial and emotional reasons.
"It's truly discriminatory," Ms. Kelly says, "but no one calls it what it is. You don't see this happen in progressive organizations, but there are still many organizations that don't have sophisticated or enlightened practices."
