Are You an Employer Interested in Hiring Mature Workers?

The workforce looks very different from years ago, with workers staying in their jobs longer, returning to the workforce after interruptions for interrupted family and other priorities, or because they want a new experience outside of retirement.

These workers exhibit many of the employment skills that employers have identified as critical. They’re living healthier, longer lives and upgrading their skills for today’s in-demand jobs. Now is the time to inquire about how you can connect with seasoned talent for your job openings.

  • Older workers are loyal, reliable and stay in jobs longer
    Older adults are motivated to continue earning as they are more likely to have financial obligations and family responsibilities which incentivize them to stay in jobs longer.
  • Older workers bring experience and expertise
    Older adults can provide a wealth of knowledge and skills garnered from their extensive work history. They can mentor younger colleagues, helping to boost productivity.
  • Older workers create a diverse workplace
    Having employees of different ages contributes to a more balanced workplace, offering a wide spectrum of perspectives, problem-solving skills, attitudes and innovative ideas.
