The mature worker can be a great source of experienced talent.<\/p><\/div>\r\n

A COVID-19 note: I was originally going to post this blog in early April, and then the COVID pandemic hit. I realized that interest in recruiting discussions would be quite low, so I held off. Now that the pandemic is not going away anytime soon and we are learning to adjust to this new reality, organizations realize that continuing to recruit talent is indeed a never ending priority.<\/em>

The demographics of our workforce continue to change. I read so many articles and hear so many HR leaders talk about the scarcity of labor as so many baby boomers are retiring with a smaller number of working age millennials coming into the pipeline.

But look around you; there are many diverse sources of talent. Early this year, I did two 11 – 12 minute podcasts with Fred Coon of Stewart, Cooper & Coon and host of \u201cThe US at Work,\u201d listed by FreeSpot in the top 15 nationwide workplace podcasts. Below are links to the two podcasts and short outline of what Fred and I discuss in the podcasts.

Podcast 1: Link to \u201cAdvice on Aging Workforce Management\u201d<\/a><\/strong>

NOTE: With now more people working from home, mature talent should definitely be strongly considered when recruiting!<\/em>

Our workforce is aging. Companies are wrestling with replacement and many workers are struggling to hang on. What should companies and organizations be doing to better leverage and value their older employees? This podcasts covers:<\/p>\r\n


\u2022 Misunderstanding about and issues facing the aging workforce
\u2022 The impacts that unconscious bias and stereotyping have on older workers
\u2022 What older employees have to offer, the importance of understanding the expertise and value of the older worker
\u2022 How older workers can handle these challenges facing them
\u2022 Building bridges across the multiple generations in the workplace
\u2022 What companies can do to value and leverage their older talent.

Podcast 2: Link to \u201cCompanies Are Waking Up to Onboarding for Military Veterans\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a>

The “Boots to Suits” is an image often used to portray the value of veteran talent.<\/p><\/div>\r\n


Why is it important for companies to exert effort to hire and support military veterans? What can be done in all areas to better position veterans for success in the civilian working world? There seems to be an awakening of companies regarding the onboard of veterans. It is smart business and it improves the skill pool at any company. This podcast covers:<\/p>\r\n


\u2022 Top issues facing veterans transitioning to the civilian workforce
\u2022 Tips for onboarding of military employees
\u2022 The value proposition for companies to hire veterans
\u2022 How to position veterans for success
\u2022 Various resources and initiatives supporting veterans entering the workforce.
