Jobs for Seniors - Seah Leong Khai

In his letter published in Today paper, Seah Leong Khai said that the proposed law to get employers to rehire workers beyond age 62 may not make business sense from a business point of view.

If required by law, most companies will rehire them on a part-time or temporary basis, and on unimportant jobs "at lower rates of pay and benefits" to justify the lower productivity and at higher operating costs.

I agree with this point of view.

However, I wish to find ways to enhance the value of older workers. They bring the following benefits:

* experience
* maturity
* positive work attitude

They may be able to bring this value to their current employer or to a new employer (ie to make a change of job).
