“An aging population can make a significant impact on an organisation and its plans. This is an inescapable fact and needs to be taken into consideration when organisations embark on their strategic planning initiatives. All areas of an organisation will potentially be impacted in the time to come if HR alternatives and decisions are not made in a timely manner in facing the phenomenon of aging population,” said Prof. Dharmasiri.

Prof. Ajantha’s well researched speech focused on demographics and statistics of an aging population and the changing dynamics which impacts organisations as well as the environmental and economic aspects of this phenomenon.

Prof. Ajantha has been invited to address the members of the Organisation of Professional Associations (OPA) at the OPA Auditorium on Thursday 25 April on the topic of ‘Aging population and its impact on the organisation’.
