Leaders champion innovation as the engine of progress. Yet when it’s personal—when an employee reimagines their own career—it’s too often dismissed. If reinvention keeps companies alive, shouldn’t it also keep people thriving?
In a workforce that spans six or more decades, the ability to pivot—whether by reskilling, shifting roles, or moving into new industries—isn’t a risk to be managed; it’s a strength to be cultivated. Yet too many organizations treat reinvention as a red flag instead of viewing it as a retention strategy.
Reinvention isn’t a midlife event—it’s a workforce reality. People return to school in their 70s, switch sectors in their 50s and start businesses in their 30s. Supporting that evolution keeps curiosity alive and talent engaged.
