Analysts interviewed more than 11 thousand people of all ages and professions from different regions of the country and found amazing facts. Oddly enough, once in the company, older workers feel much more confident than their younger colleagues. In figures it looks so: if people under the age of 44 years assess their prospects of 6.8 points on a scale, pretensioner – 6.6 points, employees over 65 years of 8.1 points. The researchers attribute this to a more responsible approach to work and a valuable knowledge base available to employees with life and professional experience.
by the Way, among pensioners who continue to work, more than half – 58% – got a new job already reaching retirement age.
“the Reasons for the high rate of confidence the age of the employees at work are quite obvious: they have many years of professional experience, a large number of implemented projects and objectives, developed communication skills in the workplace and established relationships with management, – explains the head of research service hh.ru Mariya Ignatova. – Plays an important role and their experience in mixed age teams, such as young professionals, in most cases, used to communicate with peers while studying or internships”.
it is Noteworthy that the majority of continue to work of pensioners are refusing to retire, not only for financial reasons. For 27% it is important to feel confident and independent, it is independent earnings gives them that opportunity. Another 22% claim that staying home does not allow them love for their profession. And only 18% indicated a pressing need for money.
And another paradox. It is the age as a major disincentive to find new work, indicated 68% of respondents pretensioners and 66% of pensioners. But if you were able to convince HR and future bosses in their own capabilities, then no age-related problems in 86% of employees over 65 years of age. 6% of pensioners are some difficulties with the use of modern technology. Otherwise, the main problem is social isolation from the more youthful team, with no one to talk “for life”. Another 2% said that they are not allowed to move up the career ladder, prefer younger.
“the Main reason of finding a new job after retirement – health factor – continues Maria Ignatova. – Looking for a job closer to home with more flexible hours, less responsibility, risk and physical exertion. Of course, better conditions of labour are accompanied by the loss of part of the salary, but remuneration for work in most cases exceeds the amount of the pension.”
by the Way�� in labor recalled that discrimination, including age, employment invalid. Exceptions may be only in some cases when the physical condition of the applicant must meet certain statutory standards. For example, if we are talking about the pilots of civil aviation. In all other cases preference must be done on professional qualities of the applicant, and not his passport.
