Preparing for an Aging Workforce

Our workforce is aging. That’s good news because older workers bring experience, emotional intelligence, and generational diversity to their employers. But few organizations are actively preparing for or taking advantage of this demographic shift.

The Center for Workforce Inclusion welcomes partners who share our goal of strengthening communities through the power and dignity of work. We can help our partners connect with our network of job seekers, reach specific communities, build programming, and create custom partnerships aligned with their organization’s goals.

Security jobs are a surprisingly good fit for older workers, who exhibit the maturity and observation skills the industry requires. Allied Universal works closely with the Center to create a pipeline of trained older workers. In 2017, Allied Universal hired nearly 11,000 older workers as security professionals and in administrative roles. That’s over 7% of Allied Universal’s workforce!
