Wellness programming and creating an age-friendly culture in the workplace are keys to recruiting and retaining older employees, according to a Mather Institute survey of 232 senior living employees aged 50 and older.
The response rate was 27% out of a pool of potential respondents of 863 employees.
The survey was disseminated to employees in independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing, and most participating communities were life plan communities, a spokesperson for the Mather Institute told the McKnight’s Business Daily.
