“…We are only at the beginning of this change process. We, HRD professionals, should think and offer ideas, recommendations, training, and learning programmes to help prepare WFH and displaced workers to develop their employment skills so they can be better prepared to face these unknown challenges (Li and Zehr 2020).…”

“…Community wellbeing is a key element of the Decade mission. However, despite the Decade Action calling on communities to foster the abilities of older people, there has been little exploration of the capacity of communities to do this, Wellbeing could provide a way to evaluate the sufficiency of community material resources (e.g., infrastructure and local economy) and relationships (e.g., sense of coherence and participation) (DeVerteuil et al 2020 ; Ryser et al 2021 ) as well as community narratives (e.g., as flourishing or left behind) (Li and Zehr 2020 ; Wiseman and Brasher 2008 ). Mapping diversities across these wellbeing domains could help us better understand the extent to which older people with the greatest need for age-friendly interventions do not always reside in places with the capacity to implement them (Cueva et al 2021 ; Winterton 2016 ).…”

The mission of UN Decade of Healthy Ageing (2020–2030) is to improve the lives of older people, their families and their communities. In this paper, we create a conceptual framework and research agenda for researchers to knowledge to address the Decade action items. The framework builds on the main components of healthy ageing: Environments (highlighting society and community) across life courses (of work and family) toward wellbeing (of individuals, family members and communities). Knowledge gaps are identified within each area as priority research actions. Within societal environments, interrogating beliefs about ageism and about familism are proposed as a way to illustrate how macro approaches to older people influence their experiences. We need to interrogate the extent to which communities are good places to grow old; and whether they have sufficient resources to be supportive to older residents. Further articulation of trajectories and turning points across the full span of work and of family life courses is proposed to better understand their diversities and the extent to which they lead to adequate financial and social resources in later life. Components of wellbeing are proposed to monitor improvement in the lives of older people, their families and communities. Researcher priorities can be informed by regional and national strategies reflecting Decade actions.

COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all the economies and brought in an unprecedented change across sectors, especially the academic sector. Adapting to the new normal seems to be the only way forward for millennial scholars. This study explores the possibility of augmenting learning and the holistic development of scholars of higher education institutions (HEIs) by leveraging emotional intelligence (EI) to strategize practices that help in learning and development for the unforeseen future. Sustainable development strategies for HEIs are important imperatives in the new normal. This qualitative study using thematic analysis draws inputs from focus group discussions among 21 psychologists who are university campus counsellors. Fear of uncertainty and Impulse control emerged as major themes for student challenges in the new normal. Study findings illustrate the suitability of EI strategies for millennials to cope with the uncertainty skills and competencies needed for adapting. EI dimensions like self-awareness, self-control, adaptability and general mood are most relevant to deal with unknown future challenges. Sub-themes of stakeholder initiatives were identified as inclusion of EI in curriculum, life skill training and mental health profiling. This original study adds value as an exploratory study to form the foundation for quantitative analysis and shares perspectives for stakeholders of higher education.
