SUBJECT: Benefits Older Workers Can Bring to the Company

After a recent survey, it has come to notice that our workforce may have some doubts about the benefits of bringing in older

employees.

Older workers can benefit the company for the following reasons:

Older workers have gained valuable experience

• Job Experience- Gained valuable experience through previous jobs

• Life Experience- Have lived longer and experienced more events

• Emotional Experience- Had time to learn and reflect from their experiences

• Wisdom Gained from Experience-They have had time to learn from their mistakes

Older workers bring confidence.

• Know Their Strengths-Know where they can be most productive

• Know How to Lead- Value input of others

• Are Communicators-Can work as a team

• More Expertise-From years of experience

Older workers are reliable

• Address Their Weaknesses-By learning from mistakes

• Show Up on Time-Have their routine down

• Not distracted easily- Not Texting All Day

• People Friendly- Good at Customer Service

Older workers are loyal

• Team Players-Work towards common goals

• Like Their Job More- Gives them a purpose.

• Satisfied with Job-They need something to do

• Not Preoccupied by Family- Kids are grown up

Older workers can save our company time

• Can Be Effective Immediately- They are already trained.

• Can Make Good Decisions Quickly- Think on their toes

• Can Provide Skills to Younger Employees-Leading by example

• Have Advanced Critical Thinking- Can identify where changes could be made.

We at 306 Industries should embrace hiring older employees because of their many talents. We hope that you keep an open

mind to working with and learning from any of our new hires.
