In his letter published in Today paper, Seah Leong Khai said that the proposed law to get employers to rehire workers beyond age 62 may not make business sense from a business point of view.
If required by law, most companies will rehire them on a part-time or temporary basis, and on unimportant jobs "at lower rates of pay and benefits" to justify the lower productivity and at higher operating costs.
I agree with this point of view.
However, I wish to find ways to enhance the value of older workers. They bring the following benefits:
* experience
* maturity
* positive work attitude
They may be able to bring this value to their current employer or to a new employer (ie to make a change of job).
