The Silver Collar シルバーカラーを活かす

米国でもベビーブーマー世代が引退する年齢になってきている。そんな中、シニア世代のシルバーカラーを活かすことで企業の人材力を高めようという意見もある。
仕事に対するこだわり、モチベーション、現状で満足しながら経験を活かす、そして仕事への倫理観も備えている。若い世代に欠けているものを持っているということだ。
日本でも同様のことが言われているのではないだろうか？
会社がシルバーカラーを活かす仕組み、人事制度、報酬制度、評価制度を持つことは人材力を高める１つの鍵になる。
Dedication.
Senior workers are dedicated to the concept of doing a good job. It's an old-fashioned value often not found in younger workers, says Wonderlic.

Motivation.
Senior workers actually want to work! Some, of course, simply are after supplementary income, but they also want to get out of the house, to interact with people, and to do something useful.

Satisfaction.
Seniors aren't trying to advance up the ladder. They're not gaining experience just to move on to another employer. They're not competing with their co-workers. They are satisfied where they are.

Experience.
Seniors can handle a lot. Tough boss? Lazy boss? Annoying aspects to the job? They've seen and heard it all. Whatever it is, they just take it in stride.

Work ethic.
Studies show that seniors come to work on time, don't complain, and do their jobs with enthusiasm.
