THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK 159 INTERGENERATIONAL WORKFORCES: KEEP UP AT WORK AS YOU AGE continued from page 82 Tips For Accommodating Older Workers The best strategy in managing and accommodating older workers is the same as with employees of any age: observe, note strengths and weaknesses and try to work with that person as an individual. Nearly every employee requires some accommodations in order to do the best job possible. For example, a manager may have to spend The best strategy in managing and accommodating older workers is the same as with employees of any age: observe, note strengths and weaknesses and try to work with that person as an individual. time with the younger, new college graduate explaining to him if and when it is appropriate to text customers. The same concept is true with older workers. Due to changes in eyesight and hearing, consider how older workers' seats at a meeting table can make a big difference in how well they are able to participate. Recognizing normal changes that happen to the aging brain can help managers expect that some older workers may be quiet during that meeting but are submitting great ideas a few hours later, after they've had time to process. Since this age group may have less computer experience than their younger coworkers, it is important to assess and respond to needs for training. Older workers sometimes are thought to be technologically challenged but often it is because they have not had proper training. It is also important to reevaluate a worker's duties if he ages during employment with an organization. For example, a 70- year old hotel shuttle driver who has been with a company for 20 years may be better suited to a front desk assignment if age-related changes are interfering with driving abilities. Embracing Older Workers Older workers have so much to offer: experience, work ethic, potential to mentor and frequently less family obligations that will interfere with work. The key to maximizing value with older employees is recognizing and accommodating their differences.
