Podcast | CPO, SUSE: How we're helping our over-50s discover new career paths

Lisa Sherwell, SUSE's Chief People Officer

SUSE’s Futureselves Discovery programme is targeted specifically at its cohort of over-50s – but not because the software company is “ageist,” says CPO Lisa Sherwell.

Instead, the HR chief explains that the scheme was created based on a belief that this segment of employees has “spent the last few decades looking after everybody else: their teams, their families. It's time for them to really get an opportunity to look after themselves.”

Speaking on the HR Grapevine Podcast, Sherwell breaks down the Futureselves programme, how it works, and what she has learnt from the scheme’s initial pilot with 100 members, with early signs that it could be a powerful driver of motivation, engagement, and purpose.
