FULL TEXT Featured Employer Program Emphasizes Phased Retirement

to Minimize Imminent Skills Shortage

TROY, Mich., March 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kelly Services, a global staffing company, today announced a new

partnership with AARP as a Featured Employer in a program designed to connect mature workers with companies

committed to aggressive efforts to recruit, hire, and retain them. By integrating this approach into their business

plans, many companies will find it is the competitive edge they need to win the looming war for talent.

"Kelly Services has a long history of attracting and retaining mature workers and we are pleased to strengthen this

strategy as an AARP Featured Employer," said Carl Camden, president and chief operating officer, Kelly Services.

"Mature workers are rated highly by our customers and we find these employees are extremely focused, reliable,

and offer our customers a greater bank of specialized skills and invaluable knowledge, particularly in the

professional, technical, and educational sectors."

Finding qualified, talented people is a challenge today, and it will be even more intense tomorrow. A key

demographic trend contributing to the gap between job creation and the labor supply is the aging of the workforce,

which clearly points to a significant skills shortage during the next two decades. Retaining access to mature

workers will be critical in terms of talent and productivity. A key component of any long-term human resource

strategy should be to engage older workers on the job as they are highly credentialed, and often best suited to

meet the demands of the marketplace.

"Seasoned workers bring a competitive edge to any company, and our partnership with AARP allows us to

maximize and leverage their expertise and abilities," said Camden. "Kelly offers many employment opportunities

and programs for mature workers who elect a phased retirement, seek a new career path, or want to further their

professional development."

At Kelly, mature workers are a significant, valued segment of the workforce. They offer a wealth of experience and

are ready, willing, and able to work beyond traditional retirement age. Mature workers benefit from the flexible

schedules Kelly offers that help them balance work and leisure while providing interesting professional

opportunities to use their broad expertise to continue their career development. For more information about the
