Discover digital landscapes .Share this email AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS Why is Gucci getting into gaming? For the same reason Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren, and other high fashion brands are linking up with the $176 billion industry. Shoppers—especially those in Gen Z—are spending more time than ever before in virtual spaces, or “second worlds.” Fashion companies have only just begun leveraging the immersive power of the metaverse, to promising results. Gucci took to the popular online platform Roblox to replicate its famous Gucci Garden, drawing 19 million visitors to the installment, and Louis Vuitton launched an NFT videogame for its 200th anniversary. But that’s not all—check out a new McKinsey photo feature to learn how virtual runways, avatar “skins,” and more metaverse technology stand to revolutionize the state of fashion. — Molly Liebergall, digital editor, New York How the fashion industry can get into a metaverse mindset Shoppers, particularly those in Gen Z, are spending more time online and exploring the possibilities of the metaverse.

Is your workplace ‘sticky’? If not, it’s time to start listening more to your employees.
The Shortlist
Plus, the five zeros reshaping retail .Share this email Our best ideas, quick and curated | April 8, 2022 View in browser This week, we look at measures companies can take to keep employees from walking out the door. Plus, how organizations can get the Internet of Things right, and a McKinsey talent expert on why a 20-hour workweek isn’t as far-fetched as it sounds. Gone for now, or gone for good? Workers are leaving companies faster than they can be replaced. Nearly half of the employees who voluntarily left the US workforce during the pandemic aren’t coming back on their own. In a recent McKinsey survey of almost 600 US workers who voluntarily left a job without another in hand, 44 percent said that they have little to no interest in returning to traditional jobs in the next six months. Most companies understand that they can’t just sit and wait for workers to reappear on their doorstep. Employers must go and get them. But how? A break with traditional roles. The first step is to understand that this recent wave of attrition is different. Instead of leaving for a similar but better job elsewhere, most workers are leaving to take on very different roles—or just leaving the workforce entirely. That push into nontraditional jobs or not working at all means compensation and benefits packages aren’t the sole answer. Instead, workers also want more flexibility, community, and an inclusive culture if they’re going to accept a full-time job at a traditional employer. Make some ‘sticky’ moves. To thrive in this new moment, companies must build “sticky” workplaces by listening to employees, anticipating and addressing their concerns, fostering psychological safety and a sense of community, and measuring outcomes. Organizations can ask people in the most critical roles how they are doing and what they need to continue to grow. They can introduce new types of scheduling, staffing, and hiring innovations—for instance, by allowing people to assemble their own teams for projects rather than assigning them to ready-made squads. Or they can let job candidates test out roles for a limited period. These moves might also attract nontraditional workers, including students, “boomerang” employees (those who return to a company after leaving), and others currently doing part-time work or leading their own start-ups. Retain your talent pool. Companies have to ask the right questions to understand how to retain their talent (something that HR leaders have always focused on but have done so intensively throughout the COVID-19 pandemic). A good people analytics function can round out the big picture with facts about individuals and cohorts. It can “separate the signal from the noise,” noted HR expert David Green in a recent McKinsey Talks Talent podcast. “It can help organizations understand if they actually have a problem with attrition and, if so, where, what job families, what locations? Is it people who have been tenured for a certain time? Is it certain groups?” From there, it’s easier to tailor solutions. The bottom line. Individuals may be looking for a certain range of pay when considering a job offer. But once that threshold has been met, cultural factors can make a company more attractive to join and, ideally, provide more incentive to stay. Focusing only on compensation or only on cultural factors won’t stem the tide of attrition—business leaders must pay constant attention to both. OFF THE CHARTS Building a clean-fuels infrastructure To help enable a decarbonized energy system in the US, gas utilities will need a different system architecture. Those utilities with experience in pipeline development and maintenance may be well positioned to build and own the required assets. A clean-fuels system could present opportunities for other players as well, such as those that have experience in energy infrastructure development. Check out our chart of the day here. PODCAST The Internet of Things … and many more things In this episode of The McKinsey Podcast, partners Michael Chui and Mark Collins discuss the findings of McKinsey’s latest Internet of Things report, including how the IoT has spread far beyond the digital-enabled household. “Whether it’s in the factory, in healthcare, or in the automotive industry, we’re seeing more and more cases where real value is growing and being created,” said Chui. Still, the successful integration of IoT continues to elude some companies. Here’s how to get IoT right. MORE ON MCKINSEY.COM The five zeros reshaping retail | The margins for error in retailing are shrinking toward zero in five areas: shopping channels, customer assistance, delivery times, equity and sustainability, and talent. Here are ways retailers can innovate to meet customers where they are. Germany’s e-health transformation makes uneven progress | Our eHealth Monitor 2021 report shows solid uptakes of telemedicine and consumer health apps. But e-prescriptions, health data exchange, and patient use of electronic health records are lagging behind. Responsible product management: The critical tech challenge | In recent years, societal concerns about privacy, sustainability, and inclusion have increased. The cross-functional, lynchpin role of product managers makes them particularly well positioned to navigate these complex issues. WHAT WE’RE THINKING Bill Schaninger on shrinking the workweek Bill Schaninger, a senior partner in McKinsey’s Philadelphia office, designs and manages large-scale organizational transformations. He has written extensively on how organizations can create world-class talent systems and winning workforce dynamics. A lot of people are talking about moving to a four-day workweek, but I think it’s more revealing to talk about a 20-hour workweek. For people who want flexibility, 20 hours a week is a really manageable number. It’s particularly good for young people, who want a solid gig but also value the side hustle that helps them find their purpose. And it’s excellent for older people who have recently retired. A huge part of their social life may well have been tied up with work. They might like to continue collaborating with peers, colleagues, and friends. And the work benefits may be better than what they’d get as retirees. This should be a win–win. If a company could get access to loyal—not transactional—people who are excited to be at work, why wouldn’t it want that? However, most companies don’t want to deviate from what they consider “normal”—a five-day, 40-hour workweek. (Which in the US, at least, is an artificial creation enshrined by laws passed more than 80 years ago.) Employers think anything else would be too complicated. But if they really examined what their talent force looks like, they’d see it’s quite complex already, full of “full timers” with special arrangements, contractors deeply entwined with the company, freelancers who were once full-timers, and so on. Another big convention that most employers don’t want to alter is offering benefits only to people working a standard 40-hour week. But perhaps that’s shortsighted. By lowering the bar to 20-hour weeks, they probably create a more reliable workforce, full of people who know the company and its culture and who are committed to it, because the company is helping them have a happier, more flexible life. One outcome of the pandemic is that the employee–employer power dynamic has really shifted toward employees. Offering flexibility with benefits would go a long way to showing talent that employers are truly invested in you. Research clarifies that benefits are an even bigger “tie that binds” than hourly wages. Now, 20 hours isn’t some magical number. My beef with the five-day workweek is that it’s a norm from long ago that hasn’t been adjusted to reflect the way that work has evolved. Like many proposals for four-day workweeks, it’s a mandate handed down from on high. So, maybe 25 hours is right, or maybe 30—even though that seems too high to me. The point is that affording employees this kind of flexibility would be both an honest recognition of today’s talent market and a way for companies to build lasting loyalty from employees—at a time when loyalty to corporations is at a low. When it comes to having to go into an office every day of the week, the genie is out of the bottle. When we next hit a downturn in the economy, some employers will be tempted to think, “Now is our chance to get back to everyone in the office every day.” If that happens, you’ll see a bifurcation between those companies and more flexible firms. And I think those companies will be hurt because people no longer accept the idea that a company owns them. They think they deserve choice, and they’re not going to relinquish that easily. They’re going to get on social media and talk about their employers, and there’s going to be a cost to that. But companies that are less entrenched in tradition and that offer workers real flexibility are going to create a workplace that’s compelling. At those companies, people will enjoy the feeling of going into the office. I think there’s a good chance that within five years, employers offering 20-hour workweeks with benefits will become more of a norm. For the past two years-plus, employees have made their independence clearer than ever. It’s time for employers to acknowledge that reality and adjust their policies and expectations. — Edited by Barbara Tierney Share this What We’re Thinking BACKTALK Have feedback or other ideas?

Where will the opportunities be in the future space economy?
McKinsey&Company
Satellites, space junk, and staffing .The future of space In the news • Talent search. The space industry’s toughest challenge is a shortage of talent to execute its lofty goals, top executives shared at a recent satellite conference. Leaders said that until space companies can attract more diverse talent, they will have to keep competing for the same people. One COO noted the problem of inflated salaries. “How can we all afford all of these people?” mused the executive. Others shared that the allure of “cooler tech” in other fields, along with the COVID-19 pandemic, were obstacles to recruitment. [Space News] • Saving satellites. Most of the satellites now orbiting the Earth will turn into space junk once they break. That’s because—outside of sending astronauts to do the work—there’s no way to routinely refuel or repair those satellites. But human spaceflight is costly, so the public and private sectors are turning to robots to manage the tasks. Researchers are developing robots with mechanical arms that can service satellites from high above the planet. These efforts could enable companies to produce better and more affordable satellites. [Smithsonian] “There are a number of new fellowships designed to help make the aerospace industry a more diverse and dynamic environment, and the individuals who become alumni of these fellowships are going to change the world.” On McKinsey.com • Building trust. Companies hoping to succeed in the future space industry will need to build trust alongside the proper technologies, says Airbus U.S.’s Debra Facktor in an interview with McKinsey. Thousands of additional satellites will be circling the Earth in 2030, making it likely that servicing them in orbit will be a new opportunity. “Today, if your car breaks down on the side of the road at midnight, you can call a service you trust,” says Facktor. “The same thing can happen in space.” • Artists in space. Making the space economy work will take all kinds of people. Along with math, science, and technical talent, we will also need people who communicate well, people who can draw up contracts, experts in political science and in the arts, says Facktor. “The space sector needs to invest in talent and encourage young people—especially women and underrepresented minorities—to go into fields like aerospace.” Read the full interview for how government and industry leaders can develop the space economy, plus the biggest ways that companies can stand out. — Edited by Belinda Yu Go beyond Was this forwarded to you?

Is your pink shirt ready for next Wednesday?
Intersection Subject Line
Creating a world where LGBTQ+ youth are celebrated .Share this email DELIVERING ON DIVERSITY, GENDER EQUALITY, AND INCLUSION International Day of Pink is around the corner, on Wednesday, April 13. In this issue, we focus on LGBTQ+ youth—books that celebrate them, resources to support them, and LGBTQ+ business leaders who are serving as role models for the next generation. THE VIEW “You are worthy of love. A lot of society does not want you to believe that you’re worthy of love, but you are, and if you love yourself in the way that people don’t want you to, if you stop believing the lies that are told … then you will begin to discover a real power.”
— Author Kacen Callender,
sharing a message for young readersKacen Callender is the author of Felix Ever After, a young-adult (YA) novel about a trans teen learning that he deserves love, and the National Book Award–winning King and the Dragonflies, which tells the story of a 12-year-old struggling with grief from the loss of his brother as well as questions about his own sexuality. Growing up in St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands, Callender, who uses they/them and he/him pronouns, faced bullying and a culture of hostility toward LGBTQ+ people that made them feel isolated even before they realized they were queer. The author creates in their books the kind of world they wish they had grown up in: “I write what I wish my life had been.” Whenever they write a book, Callender thinks of today’s LGBTQ+ youth, “the readers who might need a story that lets them know they aren’t alone—that they’re important and valid and perfect and loved, and that we need them to stay with us; that our world wouldn’t be complete without them.” That message is important to adults as well as teens. As fellow author Alex Marzano-Lesnevich, who uses they/them pronouns, explains in their essay “The healing power of queer coming-of-age stories,” YA books offered them “an alternative history, one full of hope for the life I might have lived, and a kind of longing for a world that wasn’t once but might still be.” Like Callender, Marzano-Lesnevich came out as trans in their adulthood and did not have the adolescent experiences depicted in queer YA lit. Books like Felix Ever After, they write, “dare create a world in which trans youths don’t just endure but thrive. They teach us to dream that queer adolescence, and queer lives, need not come with added pain.” These books provide a sense of repair to many LGBTQ+ readers who are long past adolescence, offering a vision of a world that “embraces who we are with joy.” That’s a vision shared by the LGBTQ+ leaders you’ll hear from in “LGBTQ+ voices: Speaking out and looking ahead.” In this McKinsey video feature, six business leaders lay out a vision for better, more inclusive workplaces, where LGBTQ+ people can be their authentic selves, contribute to their full potential, and take their seats at the leadership table. These leaders offer LGBTQ+ youth a vision of their own possible futures. They are out as LGBTQ+ and—even in the face of discrimination—they are thriving. Next Wednesday, on the International Day of Pink, people around the world will wear pink shirts to stand against bullying, discrimination, and violence toward LGBTQ+ people, including those who identify as intersex, asexual, or Two-Spirit. Day of Pink started back in 2007, when hundreds of students at a high school in Canada showed up wearing pink to support a new student who had been bullied for wearing a pink shirt. Now the campaign is international, with events at schools and workplaces. You can signal your support for colleagues—and for LGBTQ+ youth—by wearing pink on Wednesday, April 13, and by learning about and using appropriate terms to discuss gender and sexuality. Plus, from The Trevor Project (a nonprofit that McKinsey supports), here’s A Guide to Being an Ally to Transgender and Nonbinary Youth. — Edited by Julia Arnous, an editor in McKinsey’s Boston office Follow our thinking Share these insights Did you enjoy this newsletter?

As war rages in Ukraine, here’s how companies are responding to compounding crises.
McKinsey&Company
See what’s at stake .The rising toll In the news • A swift response. Years of weighing in on divisive social issues have prepared many corporate leaders to respond quickly and decisively as problems arise. Now, after dealing with the COVID-19 crisis, companies are tackling another global crisis head-on. When the war in Ukraine broke out, hundreds of companies acted fast to protect the lives of their workers and their businesses’ reputations. More than 400 firms with a footprint in Russia have halted or cut back their operations there. [WSJ] • Fading optimism. As the conflict continues in Ukraine, hope is fading for a quick end to the war, the effects of which are being felt worldwide. In Japan, business confidence has fallen for the first time in almost two years, according to the Bank of Japan’s quarterly survey. Business sentiment for the country’s top manufacturers slipped three points between December and March. Meanwhile, a surge of COVID-19 cases in China is intensifying concerns over a potential economic slowdown across Asia. [WaPo] “Prices are rising in anticipation of potential shortages. And what will happen is high-income countries will be able to pay, while lower-income countries will have access problems.” On McKinsey.com • War and uncertainty. The largest war in Europe in nearly 80 years is a severe humanitarian crisis in a world already grappling with the uncertainty of a protracted pandemic. In addition to the tragedy of lives lost and disrupted in Ukraine, “the energy and food crises are pinching at the livelihoods of people across the world,” says Sven Smit, McKinsey senior partner and chair of the McKinsey Global Institute, in the latest episode of The McKinsey Podcast. Many companies are setting up crisis teams (as they did during the COVID-19 crisis) to understand how the war in Ukraine affects their people and operations. • Months vs years of economic pain. If hostilities are resolved diplomatically in the coming weeks, assuming a modest policy response, we’d be unlikely to experience a stoppage in the supply of energy and some critical materials, says Smit. “In that case, maybe the first or second quarter of this year might look wobbly, and then we might emerge back to some form of normal trajectory.” However, if hostilities are prolonged, with economic sanctions lasting longer and at higher levels, “we could easily be two, three years under,” suggests Smit. — Edited by Belinda Yu Understand the effects of war Was this forwarded to you?

How COVID-19 caused a global learning crisis
the Daily read
Address the impacts .Share this email AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS If you’re a parent of school-aged children, you’ve seen firsthand the pandemic’s toll on student learning and well-being—and its effects on families, teachers, administrators, and entire communities. Students around the globe are, on average, eight months behind where they would have been if it wasn’t for the pandemic. By 2040, unfinished learning due to COVID-19 could cost the global economy $1.6 trillion. So what’s the path forward for school systems? A new article explores what the global education community can do to address this unprecedented education crisis and help students get back on track. Be sure to check it out. — Joyce Yoo, digital editor, New York How COVID-19 caused a global learning crisis The pandemic has taken a substantial toll on students’ academic progress as well as on their mental health. School systems can respond across multiple horizons to help students get back on track. Address the impacts Quote of the Day “Prior to the last two years… going out to eat, getting something delivered, and having ingredients to cook your own meal were very distinct occasions. As folks have spent more time at home in the last years, they have redefined their relationship with food as an experience. For many, it was the only experience that breaks up the day.” —Vishwa Chandra, McKinsey partner, on the convergence of traditional restaurant delivery platforms and grocery delivery platforms in “Next on the menu for food delivery” Chart of the Day See today’s chart Also New Aging reframed: Seeing aging as an opportunity in healthcare An inspiring conversation about aging, women in leadership, and the chance to change the narrative on old age.

The metaverse rises
Re:think
Defining the metaverse Internet searches for the term “metaverse” rose 7,200% in 2021. Those aren’t media mentions. That’s individual curiosity, a clear signal of how much people want to understand the term. The metaverse is a confusing term, because at this point it isn’t just one thing. For now, the metaverse is a combination of elements with the potential to create a vast virtual environment where new kinds of interactions and new kinds of B2C and B2B commerce are possible.
This integrated physical and virtual experience will have three core characteristics: immersive, interactive environments that use technologies such as virtual reality and augmented reality to give a sense of presence and mimic the realism of the real world; a modifiable but persistent state where you can build, create, and interact similar to the way you interact in the physical world; and a digital identity that is as valuable and unique as your physical identity.
People sometimes confuse the metaverse with the technologies that enable it. For instance, the metaverse is not virtual reality. Virtual reality is just a part of the metaverse tech stack, which has a lot of existing technologies and some that are incipient. For instance, 5G is essential for the metaverse. Great connectivity, particularly low latency, is your ticket to board the flight in, as it were. But you also need payments technology, cloud and edge infrastructure, 3-D developer tools, creator tools, security and identity platforms, virtual worlds and content, and even better devices and peripherals.
One big issue is that there’s no portability. What passes for the metaverse today is actually a set of microverses—you can’t move your avatar, social graph, virtual assets, and data seamlessly from, say, Fortnite to Roblox. That’s no good for the over 200 million monthly active users who spend an average of 2.5 hours per day on the services. That will have to change. Those gaming platforms are giving people—especially young people—new expectations for how they can interact online. They assume that they’ll be able to connect, create, and buy and sell in similar worlds. We’ll need a better trust architecture (which may be decentralized and very different from current models) if they’re going to do all that seamlessly across multiple platforms.
For now, I’d say we have just the glimmer of the metaverse. Given that, companies are asking tough questions: Is this all hype and a distraction? Should I pilot an experiment to learn about it? Is this an investable thesis that I should take seriously now? Is it such a serious pivot that I should worry about my core business? And if I can’t answer those questions with confidence, what should I do now?
For almost everyone, learning about the potential of the metaverse is a no-brainer. One great way to do so is to follow venture-capital (VC) funding. For example, Goldman Sachs estimated that there was $10 billion in venture funding for gaming and virtual worlds in 2021, more than twice the previous year. Seeing where the VC money goes can give companies a helpful perspective on what the metaverse might look like as it scales into something bigger.
200 million monthly users spend an average of 2.5 hours a day on Fortnite and Roblox
Experimentation can also be a great way to learn. To date, the experiments we have seen fall into three categories: brand integrations to extend existing experiences such as buying a virtual asset or NFT; ephemeral experiences such as the Gucci Garden; and persistent metaverse experiences such as we see in gaming. In the past few months alone, we have seen brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Forever 21, Ralph Lauren, Nike, NASCAR, and Warner Brothers launch metaverse plays. Experiments can be a way to open the window to the art of the possible—we may not fully know where they lead us, but we’ll certainly learn a lot in the process.
For experiments in the metaverse to work, companies may need to embrace open-ended investments, even small ones. In many cases, the people pushing for metaverse experimentation, who often come out of IT, haven’t tied the effort to a business case. Leaders may have to give them some leeway by expanding their tolerance for small failures. But the experimentation crowd must make more of an effort to think through the potential business value.
In addition, a lot of these technologies require expertise that most companies have in short supply. At this moment of sharp talent shortages, companies may not have the mix of engineering, software, analytics, and IT talent required to execute some of these ideas. Partnering with platform providers like Roblox or Decentraland can alleviate some, but not all, of this problem.
There are many obstacles and much uncertainty. It may well take a decade or more to fully build out the potential of the metaverse. There’s no hard-coded road map. For example, while today’s hype is about consumer use cases, enterprise or B2B cases may be the ones to scale first. Just like in the early days of the internet, it was not clear where it would go and how long it would take to develop, but we knew it was an exciting direction of innovation.
This feels like that kind of moment. Once again, technology is driving innovation into something that’s just around the corner, that could transform our experience in some unforeseen way. It reminds me that the potential of technology is infinite. That’s so humbling, and so inspiring.

The microchip industry is booming. How big could it be by 2030?
McKinsey&Company
What’s driving demand for chips .A surging semiconductor sector In the news • Supply chain choke points. To counter the global chip shortage, chipmakers have sought to increase production. But a lack of chips is choking off the supply chain itself. For example, the CEO of one large supplier of chip-making equipment has said that his company can’t find enough chips to make its tools, resulting in long lead times. The biggest chip shortages aren’t in cutting-edge semiconductors but in the less sophisticated ones—those used in industrial equipment and cars. [Reuters] • New rules of car buying. People looking to buy a new car should expect to pay premium prices or be prepared to wait until next year. In 2021, carmakers produced about two million fewer cars than they did in 2019. Since their supply of chips is limited, auto manufacturers can’t build enough cars to satisfy consumer demand. In addition to making fewer cars, many automakers are assembling cars without advanced features like automatic parking or climate-control functions for rear seats. [MarketWatch] Semiconductor markets have boomed, with sales growing by more than 20% to about $600 billion in 2021, and the industry’s aggregate annual growth could average from 6 to 8% a year up to 2030. On McKinsey.com • Clamoring for chips. Ongoing semiconductor shortages have highlighted how tiny silicon wafers are critical to the production of everything from cars to computers. The chip industry is booming, following a wave of technological advancements, consumer demand for innovative products, and the rapid digitization of businesses. By 2030, McKinsey estimates that the global semiconductor market could reach $1 trillion. • What’s ‘driving’ demand. Which semiconductor segment will grow fastest? Chips for the automotive industry are likely to see the most rapid growth over the next decade, according to McKinsey analysis. Autonomous driving, e-mobility, and other advanced applications could contribute to a tripling of demand for chips used in cars. This segment could make up as much as 20% of industry growth from now until 2030. Read the full article for an analysis of future semiconductor markets and to learn which three industries will drive growth over the next decade. — Edited by Belinda Yu See the future of semiconductors Was this forwarded to you?

Kubernetes monitoring made simple
Microservices are awesome, but monitoring them can be...not awesome.
As you break down your monolithic application into microservices, or build brand new cloud-native applications, your teams gain more autonomy, speed, and freedom.

Fortunately, New Relic One Kubernetes cluster explorer provides multidimensional views in a curated UI that simplifies complex environments and enables you to view, troubleshoot, and alert on the most important parts of your cluster.
To set up Kubernetes monitoring within New Relic One today, follow our Getting Started guide to activate your integration.
Happy Monitoring,

Do you see getting older as a chance to thrive? Here’s how to better care for seniors.
McKinsey&Company
What healthy aging means .On aging well In the news • Isn’t it ironic? Discriminating against older workers is an “unfair paradox”: employees are penalized after spending decades gaining experience. Globally, more than six million cases of depression are linked to ageism, per the WHO. Unfortunately, age bias is common: in a 2021 survey, nearly 80% of older workers stated that they have seen or experienced age discrimination. If you’re an older worker, strategies to combat ageism include confronting your own fears about aging and being prepared to respond to bias (for instance, by touting your technology skills). [CNBC] • The vanishing home-care worker. The thought of moving into a nursing home can fill some older adults with dread. A majority of Americans wish to be cared for at home as they age, but all over the country, home-care workers are hard to find, even as the population of US adults aged 65-plus is set to double by 2040. One report found that home-care staffers are quitting the field over low salaries and a lack of benefits. In most counties in one US state, home-care workers make $13.20 an hour—less than fast-food workers. [NYT] “If you think of old age as an opportunity for all of us to have a dignified life, then we are going to invest in services for older individuals.” On McKinsey.com • Not a burden, but a blessing. We need to change how we think about aging, says Ursel J. McElroy, director of the Ohio Department of Aging, in an episode of the McKinsey on Healthcare podcast. “Old age cannot be seen as a burden because we will tend to focus on things that are limited to cost containment,” McElroy says. However, if we view aging as a privilege, we’ll be “willing to invest in long-term strategy rather than short-term fixes,” she adds. Supporting healthy aging means understanding what older individuals desire from their lives and addressing their diverse needs and preferences. • Quality over quantity. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, older adults are facing threats to their health, living arrangements, and social interactions. At the same time, we have the opportunity to make meaningful changes in how we care for our aging populations. “It’s not just about increasing the amount of time you’re on this earth; it is about the quality of time you have while you’re on this earth,” McElroy says.
