Nk Or the serious problems facing industry to- day is the entployment of older workers, The problem breaks down into there elements — produc- tive, human and economic, These elements are of deep concern both to the man in particular and to in- dustry in general, Frequently a man approaching retirement age is haunted by the thought of how he will spend his time. He has neither wish nor reason to be idle but he has not, in his working life, developed any hobbies, He likes his work and the ‘thought of doing something quite different does not upped to hini at all, Simi- layly industry has no desire (0 lose the years of skill | craftmanship and experience which a lifetime's work necumulates, ‘The human element is naturally ullied to the pro- ductive, ‘The fact is that many a man will feel like | ? a fish out of water when deprived of surroundings to which he has been accustomed for years, As re- tirement approaches, he becomes worried and un- settled. Again, industry does not want to lose the | human qualities of such a man — the steadiness, loyalty and general setting of an example to younger employees, The economic may or may not be serious but it nt does exist. The man may well be provided for. His ' pension may be ample and his savings sufficient. oe sut equally his pension may not be sufficient es and his savings may have been already used on some bo, cmmergency, There may be a very real hardship j in swag reducing his income. He may require public assist- ance, Clearly, if sueh a man is both willing and able Lo continue to work, both he and tae taxpayers will oar henefit if he is permitted to do so. Lo There are two broad methods by which older workers who wish to stay in employment can be helped to do so, One is called job engineering and the other job reassignment. A recent survey in the U.S. covering 250 companies employing 500 or more workers each concluded that either job engineering w job reassignment canbe applied td almost any industr ye Briefly, job. engineering means assisting the man to continue in his present job, : Among the tech- niques used are a reorganization. of ‘production to ob- tain a more regular pace; assuring that the older | worker receives easier-to-handle materials; provid- ing greater leverage for tools, etc. relocating con- trols to give more convenient handling; providing | power tools, Job reassignment, as its name implies, is the re assessment of the workers abilities and his transfer to work of which he is capable. This, of course, is a technique found more generally in firms employing | it large number of workers and, hence, having a large selection of jobs, There is little to chooge betwee these two meth- ~ - ee go ee - . é s =o ote > wm FU s =F are ca Fr aye OF 7 2 + cro ate oF . x dat. —* _ eR ors, costly, but it has the psychological disadvantage of moving a man from his custorhary circle of co-work- ers and a possible loss of status. Probably, the fairest conclusion we can reach is that the two methods exist and can he used, Which- ever is most suitable for the particular case is the one which should be chosen, R ay REFLECTS and REMINISCES MAKING THEM MERT me, "Bip -verdiqt., wag that If he'd had ‘The white bride Js expested t6,fo:exlst any other way for the font the biH for all the attend-(sarne amount he would have had nots.
