Professor Matt Flynn of the University of Leicester School of Business has carried out research for the UK government, European Commission, and a variety of funding bodies like UK Research Council and British Academy on older workers and extended working life.
He has produced good practice guides for employers on making work attractive to older workers; constructing phased retirement pathways; and making the best use of skills and talents in intergenerational work teams.
He has worked with organisations like the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development and Trades Union Congress to promote the value of recruiting and developing talent across the life course. His research pages are Age Diversity and Second Mission.
