Age diversity can boost a company’s competitive edge. Age diversity can broaden a team’s skills and knowledge of customers as well as bring perspective.
In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of seniors remaining in the workforce or choosing to return to work after retirement.
Some persons over 50 will remain in their careers and job fields, while others will seek new opportunities. These workers will look for employers that value older employees in this steadily growing segment of the population.
