Welcome to Life100+

See how the longevity megatrend is transforming how we work and plan for the future.

Longevity is reshaping the workplace

Across the world, we are all, on average, living longer.

This longevity megatrend is already reshaping our lives – financially, socially, and emotionally. But it may not lead to us all simply working for longer. Instead, a fundamental shift in how we structure both our lives and work is needed.

The three-phase model of learn, work and then retire is set to transform into something more agile, fluid and responsive to our evolving needs. Something that goes beyond flexible hours and hybrid working to include sabbaticals, mental wellbeing breaks and learning throughout our lives. Download our second Life100+ report, Building longevity-ready workplaces in the UK, and discover what the future holds for the world of work.
