SMU Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour and Human Resources Tan Hwee Hoon commented on post-retirement employment. She said that when returning to the workforce, one has to be realistic about expectations, in terms of what one can and cannot do, as well as pay. Being open to learning new knowledge and skills is also an important attitude to have. She added that older workers are having difficulty finding jobs as companies are not actively redesigning jobs to match their capabilities.
