Baby boomer brain drain

摘要

Businesses have been aware for years that as massive numbers of baby boomers leave the work force, the institutional knowledge and skills acquired through decades will leave as well. Ken Ball and Gina Gotsill recognize that losing this critical knowledge could devastate organizations and businesses. Their book, Surviving the Baby Boomer Exodus: Capturing Knowledge for Gen X and Y Employees, gives leaders practical ways to analyze their work force, what impact retirements will have on their operations, and how to create a plan to retain, transfer and retrieve that knowledge.
