Can They Take It? Productivity, Overtime and the Mature Worker

Release Date: July 2009
ID: V-0322-09-CH

Economic recoveries have historically relied on the use of overtime, as companies look to rebuild their output without demolishing their bottom line. Mature workers have so far faced fewer layoffs than their younger colleagues, which means that more of the recovery will be on their shoulders. Given the steep recovery now needed, however, can employers count on the productivity of mature workers when they work overtime? Are they mentally and physically fit enough for the tasks at hand? This webcast will help participants to learn from The Conference Board’s Mature Workforce Initiative how to assess, motivate, and monitor the productivity of their older workers.

This webcast will discuss:

Recent published research on the impact of overtime on health, safety, and productivity
The varying risks and rewards of older workers working overtime
The realities that should underlie companies’ overtime policies
