The role of human resource management in the workplace during unretirement
Introduction
Retirement is the practical aspect of service-life in which people leave their job at a certain age and spend their life freely with family and friends. Years ago, when people retired, they got a farewell party, gold watch and some amount of cash. However, it is not necessary that the aged people cannot perform better than younger people. In many times, we can see that, aged people have lots of experience and knowledge that make them able to deal with new challenges tactfully which cannot be done by young one. Human resource is one of the important marketing team who deals not only with the hiring and staffing of talented candidates but also provides a better way to the workforce to apply all the important organisational resources into a business framework to reach the industrial ladder.
The retirement of potential human resource managers or HR staff can make a huge loss to the organisational framework. Due to a prolonged experience of selecting potential candidates from the large talent pool is not an easy job. It needs a high level of market research and recognition of organisation’s actual needs. Only experienced HR staffs can understand what their organisation want from them and how they can attract the talented youth towards the business to expand its range. Retirement of these experienced people makes organisation unable to get their proper replacement who can handle the entire task accordingly in well-organised manner. There arises an emerging concept of unretirement, which is important mainly for the human resource department in any organisation. It depicts the ideas, in which anyone doesn't have to retire from his or her designation. How does it would be, if you have the allowance to do the work you want and there is no retirement at all?

It is important for the organisation to select such candidates who can meet the organisational requirements. Unretirement provides an organisation with the opportunity to maintain long-term retention of highly skilled and experienced HR managers and staffs who are far better than the young staffs to select right candidates for right designations. Unretirement also makes the HR team able to have potential HR leader who is aged, and experience thereby can direct the entire team in a well-organised way to select the highly qualifies and smart as well as skilled candidates.
