Svein Kristoffersen: has worked in Linjegods for 29 years (to the right in picture above)

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.
