INTRODUCTION
Across Canada, employers are bracing themselves for a looming shortage of workers. Indeed, many companies are already contending with challenges in recruiting the workers they need to fill positions at all levels including management, technical, clerical, skilled trades and many professional positions.
One solution to this challenge will be for businesses to make better use of older, more experienced workers. Those companies that find ways to retain and use the knowledge and skills of their older workers, and those that are able to recruit and put these skills to work, will find they have a very valuable resource.
The Experienced Worker Resource Kit for Employers is designed to assist company owners, managers and human resources specialists in understanding and engaging this significant and vital sector of the workforce.
