Managing a Mature-Age Workforce (Enhanced DVD)

Companies such as United Airlines are utilizing mature-age workers, which reflects a shift in the workplace as aging baby boomers continue to retire, leaving an employee shortage. Psychologist Peter Quarry explains how this demographic shift will affect the workplace and discusses pertinent age-related issues such as age discrimination, false assumptions about productivity and the misconception that permeate a youth-focused society. With the technological advances over the last 20 years, along with the many companies begun by young entrepreneurs, the youth-focused culture dismiss mature workers. However, with an overall decline in worker availability, the business world will have to rely on mature workers to fill the gaps. This means more companies retaining employees longer and reconsidering the misconceptions about mature workers. In fact, Quarry debunks myths about lower productivity, discusses the advantages mature workers bring to the table, and offers suggestions about retaining a healthy, mature-age work base.  This program gives hope to mature-age workers and advice to business owners for the benefit of all.
