AARP announced today its 2007 list of AARP Best Employers for Workers Over 50. Now in its seventh year, the award recognizes employers whose practices and policies for recruiting and retaining a mature workforce set high standards for the workplace. Leading this year’s list is SC Johnson, the consumer packaged goods company based in Racine, Wis. The company offers a range of flexible work arrangements to help workers balance their professional and personal lives. Among its forward-looking programs are an on-site medical center and an on-site education program that provides college credits.
“Focusing on the employee’s personal needs pays dividends,” said AARP CEO Bill Novelli. “It is important that more employers — both large and small — recognize what tremendous assets 50 and over employees represent because of their experience and motivation.”
