The best mix: old and young together

“We should look after our senior staff, but it is not our intention to turn Linjegods into a workplace exclusively for older workers. We must also attract the young, so that we get what we call a success mix of age groups, says Asbjørn Aanesen, who is organisational director at Linjegods.

How to keep older workers longer

These are the measures which Linjegods has implemented to keep hold of older workers for longer:
• Preventative measures to reduce wear and to adapt tasks to fit older workers
• An attitude campaign to show how valuable the older workers are
• Inviting all workers above 55 to discuss their individual needs
• A seminar for all above 57, to motivate them to continue working
• Developing senior careers and tasks especially adapted to senior workers
• The possibility to work part time and at the same time receiving money from the agreement-based early retirement
scheme
• The possibility to work 80 per cent on a 90 per cent salary
• The possibility to transfer from shift work to normal day work, with partial compensation for lost income
• Bonus for those who work for longer. At 65, 66 and 67 they receive one, one and a half or two monthly salaries.
