Ditto That

Love this Paul Irving quote shared by Merry Petroski. Population aging most definitely represents a compelling opportunity, giving organizations a chance to tap into increasing amounts of knowledge and experience.

How often have we heard, “This isn’t a problem; it’s an opportunity”? So why are hiring managers forgetting that mindset now?

And how ridiculous is it to complain “older employees are stuck in their ways” and then be stuck in your so-last-century hiring practices?

The smart money is on teams that are built across a range of age and experience, where everyone learns from each other.
