Editorial Reviews
Review
“Drawing upon current international research, Shea and Haasen dispel some common myths that contribute to age discrimination and argue for the relevance of such qualities as life experience and communication skills for today's knowledge-driven enterprises. They also describe the pioneering efforts of organizations that have established successful programs for developing the skills of older workers and supporting multigenerational collaboration.”–

The authors consider such topics as: what motivates olders workers, the impact of technology on older worker training, and career trends in the health, education, and retail sectors. They showcase pioneering efforts in multi-generational work at such organizations as AES Corporation and the U.S. Coast Guard, and they offer a variety of checklists and other interactive and diagnostic elements to guide managers. The book concludes with information on the legal apsects of older worker employment, along with resources for both managers and older employees.
