Keeping Older Workers Engaged

Despite worker shortages throughout North America, a recent survey by international staffing firm Express Personnel Services shows employees today want to stay on the job long-term.

The firm surveyed a cross section of 788 business owners, managers, and employees in a variety of industries throughout the U.S. on their current employment situation. A total of 143 individuals answered the question, "How long do you plan on staying with your current employer?" Nearly half, or 48 percent, say they never plan to leave.

When analyzed by age groups, respondents ages 35 to 44 and 45 to 54 echo that mentality at 54 percent and 63 percent respectively, compared to respondents ages 25 to 34 (27 percent) and 55 to 64 (29 percent).

Maybe Baby Boomers are having more fun at work and will want to continue working.
