Abstract
This manuscript aims to enhance understanding of age management practices at the organizational level by developing a conceptual model grounded in a qualitative research approach. Drawing on primary data from interviews, the study examines key performance indicators for the aging workforce within the organizational context. Workforce aging poses significant challenges for governments, employers, and individuals, requiring effective age-management strategies. The manuscript highlights employer drivers that call for action, the position of older workers in the labor market, and the role of age management. The study also addresses the distinct demographic landscape in Europe, particularly in Slovenia, where the elderly population is projected to constitute a significant portion of the total population by the end of the century. Based on the study's findings, a model of recommendations for managing older employees at the organizational level is introduced.
