Abstract

In the era of knowledge economy, older employees are facing new challenges and opportunities. With the rapid update of technology and continuous iteration of knowledge, the traditional experience advantage of older employees may be weakened. However, their rich work experience and life wisdom still have unique value. This study focuses on the knowledge seeking and career development of older employees in the context of the knowledge economy. Older employees can continuously update their knowledge system in terms of seeking knowledge through participating in training courses, communicating and collaborating with younger colleagues, and utilizing online learning platforms. In terms of career development, they can rely on their stability, sense of responsibility, and team coordination ability to seek transformation towards management positions, technical consultants, and other directions. At the same time, enterprises should also value the value of older employees, provide them with suitable career development channels and opportunities for knowledge updates, promote the integration and collaboration of employees of different age groups, and achieve common development between enterprises and employees.
