Using the Older Workforce

A survey of older workers, by the Conference Board, found that 72 percent feel like taking on more responsibility and two-thirds are interested in training and development. Older workers feel as if management wants to bring in new blood while believing that older workers are just sticking around to collect their retirement packages.

24 million U.S. workers will need to be replaced by 2008. As a result, some companies are experiencing a split workforce in which the majority of their workers have twenty or more years of experience and the rest have less than five.

Additionally, many workers over age 55 would be willing to work for you if they could receive more time off to pursue their other interests such as traveling.

In a current client, older workers are offered part-time jobs and treasured.

The Older Worker

Warmly,

Susan
