Book review/Introducing
Working On – a guide to managing older workers
by Stephen Trew and Jennifer Wyatt Sargent.
2000. Auckland: CCH NZ Ltd
Not 'Gliding On' but a practical book for the New Zealand context, 'Working On' outlines ways in which employers can implement policies that are not ageist. As fewer people have babies and more people live longer, we have an increasing number of older people. However, employers tend to think older people do not perform as well as younger people. Trew and Sargent argue there are poor and good performers in all age groups. They make suggestions for how employers can make best use of older workers.
