Concept: Work Overload
Older employees often grow weary at full-time employment in their later years, yet so few employers offer viable options to reduce workload. The stress of having few definable options puts many employees in a state of strategic paralysis, worsening their real and perceived occupational fatigue. Many older workers would benefit from reducing their workloads without leaving the workforce as they prepare for retirement through more adaptable work schedules than in the past. This tendency lines up with the theory that as businesses adapt to new ways of doing things, workers are given more leeway in determining their work schedules (Henkens et. al., 2021, p.14).
