Older Workers Are Often Preferred to Younger Ones Because They Perform Better
Older workers are suddenly in demand. 50plus Online Magazine (www.50plusMag.com) reports that many companies are now looking to hire older workers because among other things, they often perform better than younger ones.
(PRWEB) May 20, 2005 -- In a featured article called, Older Workers Wanted,
50plus Online Magazine (www.50plusMag.com) reports that not only have they discovered
that older workers often perform better on the job, they are more likely to be
loyal to a company—not quitting after a few years.
Turnover rate for
workers over 50 is just one tenth that of those under 30.
Amazing!
Conventional wisdom was that hiring older workers would be more
costly, what with more medical problems and missed workdays. More and more
companies are realizing that that is not the case. They find that training,
recruitment costs and time spent learning are much lower for older workers, so
the difference in costs are negligible.
