2.Old Staff are More Popular
2.老員工更受歡迎
Older staff are more productive than their younger colleagues, say researchers. More mature members of staff may be weaker and less agile than their junior counterparts, but they more than compensate with their greater experience, ability to work in teams, and success at coping when things go wrong. The researchers say: While older workers make more errors, perhaps due to declining physical attributes, they hardly make any severe errors, perhaps due to more experience. It is experience that prevents severe errors.
有 專家經過研究發現:公司的老員工比年輕一輩,特別是新一代的大學生更有競爭力。雖然他們相對年輕的同業者來說,可能身體不夠強健,思維不夠敏捷,但是他們 經驗更豐富,團隊合作能力更強,處理危機的能力也更強。專家總結:因為年齡的原因,年紀越大,生理功能下降,老員工有可能會犯很多小錯誤;但是另一方面,由于老員工擁有更多的經驗,他們不會犯許多大的、嚴重的錯誤。
The scientists who studied production lines at a Mercedes-Benz truck factory in southern Germany also found that younger, more highly educated workers were less productive than those who had fewer qualifications — perhaps because the educated workers got bored more easily. The researchers, from the University of Mannheim, said their findings debunked the idea that older workers should be made redundant to boost productivity.
