“While working longer is better for employees, it turns out it‘s also better for employers”, says author Kerry Hannon. “Those I’ve interviewed say that they find that workers age 50 and older are more loyal and aren’t as likely as younger workers to job jump. They are reliable and dependable. And that lower staff turnover benefits the bottom line.”
