CloseEmployers are more concerned about the health and wellbeing of baby boomers compared to any other generation in the workplace.
This was discovered by Group Risk Development (GRiD), the industry body for the group risk protection sector. The research found that employers’ concern for their staff’s wellbeing increases as workers get older.
