The not-for-profit Older Worker Empowerment Incorporated (OWE Inc) organisation will host its inaugural workshop on February 14 at the Nexus Hub in Wyong.
OWE Inc was established in March 2020 to better support older workers, aged 55 years and over, in the community.
About 18,000 workers aged 55 to 64 and 4,458 workers aged 65-plus live on the Central Coast and OWE Inc, through its intended initiatives broadly aligned to advocacy, action and activity, is keen to make a significant contribution to the work/life balance for these older workers.
The benefits of older workers continuing to work flexibly include older workers bringing experience and life skills to the workforce, older workers are healthier, and this reduces the impact on health system, older workers contribute tax and reduce the increasing demand for Centrelink support and older workers can explore new business ideas due to having lesser financial limitations.
The February workshop is for stakeholders with state, federal and local government representatives, employers, providers and community organisations invited to build partnerships with OWE Inc as it takes steps to progress its goal of a better work/life balance for older workers in 2025.
The workshop is by invitation only due to space limitations.
Requests to attend can be sent to email to oweinc@ozemail.com.au with the email heading Request to Attend Workshop.
Organisers will also be providing an online Zoom option and details will be provided on the website www.oweinc.com.au closer to the date.
