Employers Benefit from Experienced Older Workers
May 9 Discussion of The Business Case for Age-Friendly Hiring
Hiring the right employees is a challenge for business when unemployment is low. In Sonoma County, there's a group of workers that offers experience, skills, flexibility in work hours and high job performance to fill the need - older adult job seekers.
"Twenty-five percent of our county population is age 60 and above and many want to work," says Sonoma County Board of Supervisors member Shirlee Zane, District 3. "Unfortunately, older adults can face age discrimination in hiring, despite studies that show that every aspect of job performance gets better as we age."
Employers and human resources professionals in all fields are invited to learn more at a breakfast meeting discussing
Sonoma County's New Workforce: Older Adults
-
The Business Case for Age-Friendly Hiring
,
on Wed., May 9, 7-10am., at Vintners Inn, 4350 Barnes Road, Santa Rosa. The event is hosted by Aging Together Sonoma County, the Sonoma County Workforce Investment Board and the Economic Development Board.
The k
eynote address,
The Right Stuff: Older Adults Working Longer, Working Smarter
, by Richard Adler, Distinguished Fellow at the Institute for the Future, will be followed by a panel of local
age-friendly employers discussing the benefits they've experienced by hiring older workers. The panel will be m
oderated by Cynthia Murray, President and CEO, North Bay Leadership Council. Speakers are: Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Jackson Family Wines Larry D. Smith; Bett Dundershein, Business and Community Outreach Coordinator for the San Francisco/Marin YWCA, which runs a program for re-employment of age 55+ women, and Matt Maguire, retired from the commercial solar industry, now working in hospitality industry at Sonoma Portworks.
