The State of Arizona is giving a stamp of approval to employers who want to tap the experience and passion of older workers. The Arizona Governor’s Advisory Council on Aging and the Arizona Department of Commerce have released a list of 46 Arizona employers who have been certified as Mature Worker Friendly Employers. The program is part of the Arizona Mature Workforce Initiative, which provides recognition to employers who commit to creating a workplace environment that values the experience and skills of mature workers. The initiative also helps employers attract and retain mature workers. Among the employers that have received certification are the City of Casa Grande and United Cerebral Palsy of Central Arizona. The certified employers benefit from increased company visability through free job postings on the Web site, free advertising and free training at the biennial Governor’s Conference on Aging. Employer applications to the program will be accepted again this summer. For more information, visit the Mature Workers Web site.
