Good news for mature candidates most employers think mature workers are good for business, according to new research. The research, from employment lawyer Peninsula, shows that 87% of employers think mature workers benefit their company, 77% say mature workers are more loyal and reliable than their younger counterparts, 62% of have increased the number of mature workers in their workforce and 78% of employers see the recruitment of older workers as a beneficial mentoring tool. Peter Done, managing director of Peninsula, said: “Employers are now seeing through the stereotypical views associated with age. Mature workers are now viewed as a credit to the workforce rather than a hindrance. Where previously employers have held ageist concerns about these workers, such as them not having relevant computer skills that are now essential in the workplace, they are now finding that these worries are no longer a problem.” At Forties People we always look at people's skills and abilities regardless of age, but experience and stability counts a lot in today’s marketplace. Clients are always looking for candidates who do not job hop, and have a variety of skills. We pride ourselves that in the last couple of weeks placing someone who was 25 and a 64 year old. |
