Company attitudes towards employing older workers

Company attitudes towards employing older workers

9 Jul 2009

A 2006 survey conducted by the University of National and World Economy among human resource managers examined the attitudes and stereotypes associated with the employment of older workers. The respondents mainly valued the loyalty and experience of older workers; however, they were critical of their resistance to organisational and technological change. The survey also found that organisations are still not aware of the necessary policies targeting the ageing workforce.
