Reduce Employee Turn-Over By Hiring Older Workers
Did you know you can reduce employee turn-over by
hiring older workers? Currently there are 30.9 million workers over the
age of 55 in the US workforce. There are a few reasons for this,
including many of them cannot afford to retire or don't want to retire.
The contribution of older workers cannot be overstated. Not only is
there reduced turn-over with older workers, there is better performance
and less absenteeism.
According to Professor Peter
Cappelletti, Director of Wharton's Centre for Human Resources, Professor
of Management and Research Associate of the Wharton School of Business,
University of Pennsylvania, "Everything gets better with experience."
According
to research conducted by the Conference Board of Canada and Tourism
Human Resource Canada, there are going to be skill shortages in Manitoba
and throughout Canada, in the next five to ten years. In Manitoba we
have had several new hotels and retailers open in the past few years,
with more coming in the next year.
There is an overwhelming prejudice to older candidates. We need to
learn how to keep our existing, workforce and attract a new workforce,
which will include older workers. When you see an employer with
long-term staff, it is a credit to them. They know the value of a
long-term employee, including their experience, relationships with
customers and loyalty to their business. It also creates public
perception that it must be a good place to work.
