Discussion
In the reviewed works, older employees are predominantly dealt with in that pe-
riod of life when typically, due to various health issues and advanced age, they
are no longer able to actively participate in the labour market. The health care
of older employees, the development of social contacts, suitable communication,
etc. are some of the research topics (Saje Zupanc, 2015; Raduha, 2017; Topličan-

keep an active role in society is carried out in »fragmental form« and is subor-
dinate to other age groups. The society is faced with longevity, at the same time,
