Abstract
Highlights two schools of thought, the traditional idea of the older person being more senior within the workplace and the recent suggestion that they are out of date and inflexible. Advocates an era which recognizes the individual regardless of age together with an awareness of the breadth of creativity an experienced individual can add to the company. Suggests methods of recruiting may need revising so that the mature worker is not overlooked.
