Renew Workforce

I agree to have my idea, not my name or information, posted online.:
Yes

Make retirement mandatory for executive employees. Consider making it mandatory for a federal employee to retire once they reach their maximum retirement age PLUS 2 years. This would create a greater incentive to save knowing they would not be allowed to remain on staff years past their eligibility. It would allow ample time to wrap up work/process retirement actions. It would give agencies time to prepare to fill a vacancy. The federal workforce would 'regenerate' it's staff starting with new employees (lower salaries) using the latest innovations/technologies (grads just out of school).

    I don't know about mandatory... some of the people who have been working in a particular agency for a long time have experience that newer people don't have yet. People near retirement are alot of times the "gurus" of the agencies. Maybe prior to their "mandatory" retirement, they should start mentoring their successor? But, somehow I don't see that working out too well. :-(
