Howard Risher has 40+ years of working to create 'great places to work', focusing on proven HR policies. His experience made him aware of the ageist bias and discrimination common in every developed country. With the mounting job vacancies now in the headlines, it's clear employers need the skills and work ethic of older workers. Encourging them to defer retirement is to their benefit as well as their employer. The goal is make them feel valued and respected. Multiple studies now confirm that's important to all workers. Older workers are the best answer to strengthen the workforce.
