I know some employers who were seeking out older people because of their experience, especially if they are dealing with customers on a face-to-face basis in various shops, and so forth.

What are the views of the witnesses where somebody reaches a certain stage and age, they cannot continue full-time work but they might be able to do part-time work where they might step down a little bit? That is what I am kind of planning to do. I do not like the word "retirement", by the way, and "changed roles" is perhaps another way of looking at it. We all use the terms "hybrid working" and "working from home". Have the witnesses any views on how we might blend that in if someone has less time in the workplace and has changed roles to something that is slightly less onerous but yet continues to work?
