This article reports on a study of older employees of a large public service organisation and examines their experiences of employment and their intentions to retire.
This study collected qualitative data through focus group interviews with 42 participants.
Key themes derived from data analysis with regard to influences on retirement intentions included: personal, organizational and legislative influences.
The study concludes that organisations can retain their older workers longer if they provide sufficient support, the work offered is satisfying, and part-time work is available. Regular review of employees' performance and satisfaction is required to maximize the productivity and retention of older workers.
