Why experienced workers are valuable
By: PrimeCB
I was reading a recent article about a keynote speaker who talked to her local chamber of commerce about the benefits of experienced workers.
According to a recent AARP study, only 19 percent of companies nationwide have a plan in place to retain those employees.
The speaker (Sandra Mol) said that older workers bring these skills and traits to the table:
- Experience
- Loyalty
- Attention to task
- Perseverance
- Work ethic and work habits
- Emotional maturity
