Employee Retention Tip of the Month

Retention Tip #17: Hire Older Workers

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has determined that the older a worker is when starting a job, the longer the employee will stay. So whereas this might bring grey hairs to mind, it also means that 30-somethings stay longer than 20-somethings. Consider age when hiring workers, especially if you work in the service industry and hire call center agents, waiters or waitresses, hosts or receptionists. And, ask yourself this. Can you increase your employee retention by hiring workers who know what they like to do, have bills to pay and are more stable in their lives?
