Continuing to work past retirement age can have benefits on both physical and mental health. It’s also beneficial to organizations, because the older employees not only bring knowledge and life experience, but they can help mentor the younger employees. While in the past, retirement meant giving up working completely, it is now sometimes seen as giving up jobs that people don’t like, in exchange for jobs that they enjoy. And in many arenas, working beyond retirement age is an economic decision – they just need more money.
Key Takeaways:
- Regardless of age, people can see benefits from working, both physically and mentally.
- In today’s world, people sometimes view retirement as moving from a disliked job, to a job they enjoy.
- Beyond just having more professional knowledge, employees who are older have better life experience to bring to the workplace.
