Retirement begins!

The first baby boomer retired in the USA. Kathleen Casey-Kirschling is regarded as America's first post-war baby and she retired recently. The retirement of baby boomers (born between 1946 to 1964) marks a major change in the make-up in the workplace. In the elections environment, this grouping will make up the bulk of the people at Commission and Executive Management level. The loss of people with such experience will provide a significant dent in the way elections are managed. But are the new crop of election leaders ready for the job at hand? Talent management analysis and solutions, succession planning, as well as orientation programmes for executive leadership in election management bodies to get people up to steam and supported in their first year of office is an critical area for the next few years.
