It is also important to make sure that your older employees are educated when it comes to things like Medicare and retirement, so having seminars about these topics or offering resource materials to employees on these topics is crucial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson also says that companies should offer targeted training programs for older workers, along with helping to foster mentorships between older and younger workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOlder employees have a great deal of expertise and experience they can share with younger generations,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cIn turn, younger workers can help to explain technology and share new ideas. A mentorship between these two generations can be mutually beneficial, and most importantly, it can also help to make your workplace age-positive and ensure that all employees feel valued and supported.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more on this topic, please contact Rob Wilson at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com\">rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Human resources expert discusses ageism in the workplace and what employers need to know about managing older workers Ageism continues to be a growing concern in the workplace, with a new study finding that over half of workers who are&hellip;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/2019\/01\/16\/the-generation-gap-in-the-workplace-how-to-manage-staff-when-your-employees-are-generations-older-than-you\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-human-resources"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Employco USA","author_link":"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/author\/employcousa\/"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
