RetirementJobs.com Certifies

Manpower Inc. and Schneider National

as Innovative “Age Friendly” Employers

BOSTON, EAU CLAIRE, Wis. & GREEN BAY, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RetirementJobs.com, the #1 career website for job-seekers aged 50+, today announced that it has independently evaluated and bestowed its coveted “Age Friendly Employer” Certification upon two Wisconsin-based companies: Manpower Inc. and Schneider National, Inc.

“Schneider National places great value in the diverse perspective, outstanding work ethic and professionalism mature workers bring to their roles”

The RetirementJobs.com Age Friendly Employer Certification™ Program is a unique initiative to identify and expand the number of employers that maintain policies, practices and programs consistent with employment of people age 50 and older based solely on their proficiency, qualifications and contribution, and on terms and conditions comparable to younger individuals. Employers who’ve earned RetirementJobs.com Age Friendly Employer Certification must have demonstrated consistent performance on twelve criteria which define best practices that effectively retain and attract a mature workforce to the employer.

Specifically--Certification indicates an employer’s recognition of the value of age 50+ workers, as well as its commitment to take affirmative action in providing meaningful employment, development opportunities and competitive pay and benefits. Prominent companies who’ve earned RetirementJobs.com Age Friendly Employer Certification include national employers H&R Block, Marriott, REI, Robert Half International, Safeway, and Staples.

At respective ceremonies in Eau Claire and Green Bay, Wisconsin, United States Senator Herb Kohl (D-Wisconsin) will present certificates of ‘Age Friendly Employer Certification’ to executives of both companies. As Chairman of the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, Sen. Kohl is an active public advocate on behalf of the needs and wants of the mature workforce. In February 2007, he introduced ‘Older Worker Opportunity Act of 2007’ (S.709), legislation designed to address problems faced by both workers who decide to forgo retirement and businesses that seek to retain their experience.

"By certifying them as ‘Age Friendly’, RetirementJobs.com is happy to identify Manpower and Schneider National as trailblazers who positively stand out among other U.S. employers,” said Tim Driver, CEO of RetirementJobs.com. "Through their example, Schneider National and Manpower have proven their commitment to a work environment respectful of the needs of older workers. I’m honored to co-present these awards with Senator Kohl—the nation’s leading public champion of mature employees, whose legislative initiatives benefit all concerned: job seekers, employees, employers, and the country as a whole."

"Manpower’s Age Friendly certification is a testament to our ongoing dedication to helping employers understand the advantages of employing older workers," said Melanie Holmes, Vice President of Corporate Affairs for Manpower - North America. "By embracing a mature workforce, all employers will fare better in the competition for talent and benefit from a richer and more diverse workforce."

"Schneider National places great value in the diverse perspective, outstanding work ethic and professionalism mature workers bring to their roles," said Tim Fliss, executive vice president of human resources for Schneider National. "We are proud to be recognized as an Age-Friendly Employer by RetirementJobs.com and to share this recognition with our driver, maintenance, warehouse and office associates."

"We need a 21st century workplace that is a win-win for both older workers and their employers -- an effective strategy for retaining our competitive advantage against other countries facing the same demographic tidal wave," said U.S. Senator Herb Kohl (D-WI). "Companies like RetirementJobs.com, Manpower and Schneider National are stepping up to fill this void by helping older workers keep their skills and expertise on the job. If these companies continue to adapt to accommodate the aging workforce and we pass the right legislation to help them succeed, we’ll keep our economy growing well into the future."
