Benefits to Hiring Retirees
POSTED: Tuesday, June 16, 2009
According to RetirementJobs.com, 60% of retirees returning to work are looking for full-time jobs. Compare that to last year, when only 25% of retirees were looking for full-time work. Rose Conry, with Employment Resources and Solutions, appeared on the Morning Show to share four benefits to hiring retirees.
1.) They have business insight - retirees should sell their experience 2.) Great attendance - Conry says older workers have a better attendance rate than younger workers 3.) Workplace maturity - Conry says older workers are less likely to get involved in office politics or gossip 4.) Saves company money - older workers may be more flexible, thus working part-time instead of full-time. They may not need company benefits either.
