Older workers add value to any organization | Opinion | Saudi Gazette:
"A UK newspaper published a survey that stated: “workers of over 50 are four times less likely to pull a sickie than younger staff.”
The survey also brought to light a five-year study which indicated that 44 percent of workers aged 20-39 had lied to their boss about being ill to get time off, compared with just 10 percent of those over 50. More mature workers seem to be healthier and more energetic and less reluctant to take sick leave. Younger workers attributed their time off due to a common cold and at times took more than the required days for treatment.
The survey of 2,000 working adults by an insurance firm found that older workers were keen to make the "best impression" and hold on to their jobs as they approached retirement."
