Abstract

The way organizations deal with aging employees and the way they manage the existence of a multigenerational gap within the workforce falls well within the scope some public information reporting practices, such as corporate responsibility. The aim of this study is to ascertain the level and characteristics of reporting practices on aging and multigenerational workforce among the top 50 global companies. The analysis of the public information disclosure was carried out using a quantitative approach by applying a three-stage data collection procedure. It can be concluded that companies’ information disclosure about aging workforce topics is markedly low and, accordingly, it appears at a low level of relevancy on their institutional websites structure/content, as well as in their public reports. The main finding pointed out to the fact that top global companies do not widely report the way they take actions to deal with aging and multigenerational workforce challenges.

应对全球大公司的老龄化和多代劳动力问题:来自公开披露信息的证据

组织处理老年员工的方式，以及他们管理劳动力中存在的多代人差距的方式，都在一些公共信息报告实践的范围内，比如企业责任。本研究的目的是确定全球前50家公司中关于老龄化和多代员工的报告实践的水平和特征。通过采用三阶段数据收集程序，采用定量方法对公共信息披露进行分析。可以得出结论，公司对劳动力老龄化主题的信息披露明显较低，因此，在其机构网站结构/内容以及公开报告中，它的相关性较低。该研究的主要发现指出，全球顶级公司并没有广泛报告他们采取行动应对老龄化和多代员工挑战的方式。
