See how a motivated employee can lead to greater productivity.

Finding the kind of employee that can help take your business to the top of its game is never easy. Factor in the challenges associated with recruiting and retention in this job market, and
many companies are finding it difficult to hire and keep good employees. Now, more than ever, hiring workers who are loyal, efficient and productive can mean the difference between companies that are competitive and companies that aren’t. The good news is you can find the caliber of employee you’re looking for if you expand your search to include a previously under-utilized pool of talent – those 55 and older. Bringing valuable qualities such as experience, enthusiasm and loyalty to the workplace, these workers can play an important role in improving productivity in your organization. How can your business reach this untapped resource? That’s where a partnership with the Easterseals-Goodwill Senior Community Service
Employment Program (SCSEP) comes in.
