Abstract:	Magistrska naloga obravnava družbene spremembe in prilagoditve delovnega okolja starejšim zaposlenim, za katere smo glede na zakonsko opredelitev v Sloveniji postavili prag starejši od 55 let. Tekom naloge smo se osredotočili na izzive in prednosti zaposlovanja starejših zaposlenih ter strategije za njihovo učinkovito vključevanje v organizacije. V teoretičnem delu v nalogi najprej predstavimo ključne družbene spremembe, ki vplivajo na delovno okolje starejših zaposlenih. Sem smo uvrstili demografske trende, spremembe v zakonodaji, ekonomske in družbenokulturne dejavnike, psihološke vidike staranja in nenazadnje tudi digitalne spremembe. Le-te pomembno oblikujejo pogoje dela in zahtevajo ustrezne odzive na ravni celotne družbe, organizacij in tudi odgovornosti starejših zaposlenih. Ravno zaradi različnih dejavnikov vloga starejših zaposlenih ni enoznačna, temveč se tako država, organizacije in tudi zaposleni soočajo z izzivi in prednostmi, ki so posledica zaposlovanja starejših zaposlenih. Med izzivi pogosto izstopajo stereotipi, diskriminacija, pomanjkanje prilagoditev delovnih mest, digitalna izključenost in omejene možnosti kariernega razvoja, medtem ko med prednosti uvrščamo bogate delovne izkušnje, prenos znanja, stabilnost in visoko zavzetost, kar predstavlja pomembno vrednost za organizacije. Da naslovimo te izzive in še bolj v ospredje postavimo prednosti, smo del naloge posvetili tudi smernicam za učinkovito upravljanje s starejšimi zaposlenimi, kamor smo uvrstili promocijo in varovanje zdravja, prilagojene delovne pogoje, sistem razvoja kadrov, medgeneracijsko povezovanje ter digitalno vključenost. Na podlagi pregleda dosedanjih domačih in tujih raziskav smo se odločili, da za opisno primerjavo preverimo realno stanje tako starejših zaposlenih, kot tudi zaposlenih, ki se ukvarjajo z upravljanjem starejših kadrov v slovenskih organizacijah. Osredotočili smo se na zaznavo družbenih sprememb z obeh vidikov, pogostost izvajanja ukrepov, ki izboljšujejo delovna okolja starejših zaposlenih ter potrebe starejših zaposlenih po izboljšanju delovnih pogojev. Prav tako pa nas je zanimalo, kako se ukrepi povezujejo s počutjem starejših zaposlenih in produktivnostjo v zadnjem letu. Rezultati potrjujejo, da je v povprečju petina zaposlenih starejša od 55 let, kar nakazuje na aktualnost teme, ki bo zahtevala vedno več pozornosti. Ugotovili smo, da sta najpomembnejši potrebi starejših zaposlenih možnost fleksibilnega delovnega časa in finančne spodbude, ki se v praksi redko izvajata pri starejših zaposlenih tudi z vidika kadrovske službe. Ena izmed ključnih ugotovitev naloge pa je zavrnitev stereotipnega razmišljanja, da so starejši zaposleni pogosteje odsotni zaradi bolezni, kar so potrdili tako zaposleni, kot tudi kadrovska služba. V zaključku izpostavimo, da vključevanje starejših zaposlenih in enakopravna obravnava ni le pomembna za dobro poslovanje organizacij, temveč tudi strateška prednost, predvsem kadar so ukrepi individualno prilagojeni potrebam zaposlenih, s katerimi se spodbuja motiviranost.

Title:	Social changes and workplace adaptation for older employees in Slovenia
Abstract:	The master’s thesis addresses social changes and adjustments in the work environment for older employees, for whom, according to the legal definition in Slovenia, we have set the age threshold at over 55 years. Throughout the thesis, we focused on the challenges and advantages of employing older workers, as well as strategies for their effective integration into organizations. In the theoretical part, we first present the key social changes affecting the work environment of older employees. These include demographic trends, changes in legislation, economic and socio-cultural factors, psychological aspects of ageing, and, last but not least, digital changes. The latter significantly shape working conditions and require appropriate responses from society as a whole, organizations, and the older employees themselves. Due to the various factors involved, the role of older employees is not uniform. The state, organizations, and the employees themselves face both challenges and advantages that result from employing older workers. Common challenges include stereotypes, discrimination, lack of workplace adjustments, digital exclusion, and limited career development opportunities. In contrast, the advantages include extensive work experience, knowledge transfer, stability, and high commitment, all of which represent significant value for organizations. To address these challenges and highlight the advantages, part of the thesis is dedicated to guidelines for effective management of older employees. These include health promotion and protection, adapted working conditions, human resource development systems, intergenerational cooperation, and digital inclusion. Based on a review of existing domestic and international research, we decided to conduct a descriptive comparison to examine the current situation of both older employees and the employees responsible for managing older staff in Slovenian organizations. We focused on the perception of social changes from both perspectives, the frequency of implementing measures to improve older employees’ work environments, and the needs of older employees for better working conditions. We were also interested in how these measures are linked to older employees’ well-being and productivity over the past year. The results confirm that, on average, one-fifth of employees are over the age of 55, indicating the relevance of this topic, which will require increasing attention. We found that the most important needs of older employees are the possibility of flexible working hours and financial incentives—both of which are rarely implemented for older workers, even from the HR perspective. One of the key findings of the thesis is the rejection of the stereotypical belief that older employees are more frequently absent due to illness, a view confirmed by both employees and HR staff.
