It's not prestige or a fancy office, either.
We’re ready and willing to work.But if you want to win us over, you need to understand our needs. And the number one item on our list isn’t more money, prestige or a fancy office.“More than 60% of individuals say that they would surely not work after age 70…if they did not have flexible work hours,” report researchers from the Rand Corp. in a new survey of older workers. Offering flexible hours was “by far the strongest” factor employers could offer to woo older workers, they found.
Flexible hours are the key to attracting senior workers for a variety of reasons, the research suggests. Many older workers will have to take care of an older relative or a spouse. They’ll also have rising health needs of their own. The findings come at a critical moment. A surging number of Americans are staying in the labor market after the traditional retirement age and looking for work. The percentage of those over 65 who are either working or looking for work has doubled in the past 35 years, hitting 20% earlier this year. With more and more baby boomers reaching their 60s that’s already more than nine million seniors, according to Pew.
