DEWSBURY Older workers event

Do you have available vacancies? We have candidates aged 50 and above looking for work now!

We know that 36% of 50-70 year olds feel at a disadvantage applying for jobs due to their age. This recruitment event is to show that there is still a requirement for experienced, skilled workers available

Older workers are good for business - a company with a 10% higher share of workers aged 50 and over is more productive

Being age-inclusive benefits younger workers as well - older workers could help in knowledge and skill sharing. Far from being in competition with each another, different age groups working together can help businesses thrive and individuals learn

Being age-inclusive helps people who want to stay in work for longer - Older workers value the same things in work as younger workers, including social connections developed in the workplace and having a sense of purpose

Age inclusivity boosts the economy - people aged 50-64 in work could increase GDP by around £5.7 billion per year and have a positive impact on income tax and National Insurance Contributions by around £800 million per year.
