2.Old Staff are More Popular
2.老员工更受欢迎
Older staff are more productive than their younger colleagues, say researchers. More mature members of staff may be weaker and less agile than their junior counterparts, but they more than compensate with their greater experience, ability to work in teams, and success at coping when things go wrong. The researchers say: While older workers make more errors, perhaps due to declining physical attributes, they hardly make any severe errors, perhaps due to more experience. It is experience that prevents severe errors.
有 专家经过研究发现:公司的老员工比年轻一辈,特别是新一代的大学生更有竞争力。虽然他们相对年轻的同业者来说,可能身体不够强健,思维不够敏捷,但是他们 经验更丰富,团队合作能力更强,处理危机的能力也更强。专家总结:因为年龄的原因,年纪越大,生理功能下降,老员工有可能会犯很多小错误;但是另一方面,由于老员工拥有更多的经验,他们不会犯许多大的、严重的错误。
The scientists who studied production lines at a Mercedes-Benz truck factory in southern Germany also found that younger, more highly educated workers were less productive than those who had fewer qualifications — perhaps because the educated workers got bored more easily. The researchers, from the University of Mannheim, said their findings debunked the idea that older workers should be made redundant to boost productivity.
