Employers to Face Challenges As More Workers Retire

(NewsUSA) - In the coming decades, the number of older workers in America's work force will leap to 34 million, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Despite the profusion of older adults in the work force, it is expected that in the next few years 40 percent of people with college degrees will retire, resulting in a serious challenge for employers- especially small businesses. As tens of millions of baby boomers reach retirement age in the next four years, the gap between available jobs and qualified workers will increase to 35 million. These numbers are compelling employers to focus efforts on attracting and retaining valuable older workers who enhance today's work force with their skills and decades of experience. Through its Senior Community Services Employment Program, Easter Seals provides training and skills development opportunities for older adults with limited income and assists them in rejoining the work force. The organization recommends a variety of approaches that have been shown to augment employers' success in their quest to attract and retain older workers: *When developing recruitment messages, focus on the job and skills required rather than number of years of experience. *Interview and hire based on qualifications and skill set, not age. * Set clear expectations of workers and maintain ongoing performance appraisals, including personal and professional development plans. *Offer opportunities for workers to learn new skills for professional advancement through increased responsibility and special projects. *Cultivate a supportive workplace that fosters a healthy work-life balance.

Maintaining Pets' Healthy Gums Too Great to be Ignored

(NewsUSA) - Smelly doggie breath can be annoying. And dog owners will go to great lengths to eliminate or cover it up. But be aware -- pet oral care goes beyond preventing bad doggie breath. Poor gum health allows nasty bacteria to make a beeline straight for a pet's circulatory system. Periodontal disease is often the result of pet owners not regularly providing at-home oral care and veterinary assessments and treatments. Pet owners will be thrilled to know that Greenies Brand recently introduced a canine dental chew that carries the Veterinary Oral Health Seal of Acceptance for reduction of plaque and tartar buildup and is clinically proven to help maintain healthier gums.

Laundry 101Making Sense Of Sensors

( N A P S I ) T h e r e s good news for those who feel they waste too much time on laundry day, waiting for their dryer to catch up with their washer. Innovations in sensor technology make it possible for a washer and dryer pair to work better together to deliver clean clothes in a timely manner. While consumers may be aware that sensors exist, many are still skeptical when it comes to how they can get the machines to do what they do. According to a recent Whirlpool Corporation survey conducted online by Harris Interactive, 84 percent of U.S. adults who do their laundry recognize that their clothes dryers have sensors, but 40 percent of those surveyed confessed that they were still skeptical when it comes to believing the dryer is able to know how long it takes to dry clothes. Here is a quick look at how these sensors workand how to find a washer/dryer pair that fits your laundry needs. Getting the best clean most efficiently from a washer can be partially attributed to the use of several sensors within the machine. The motor is able to measure the size and weight of the laundry load to determine the correct spin cycle speed. The spin speed then determines how much water is extracted from the laundry, which helps reduce final drying time by minimizing the moisture in the load before it even hits the dryer. With the help of sensors inside the machine, dryers are able to safeguard while drying. Sensors are designed to activate when each cycle begins. This means consumers can trust that their clothes are protected and they dont have to overcompensate with more water or dryer time than needed. To learn more, visit www.whirlpool.com.

New Cable Boxes Help Save Money And Energy

Americans an estimated $2 billion each year. A home with two standard boxes can use more electricity than a new refrigerator. To help, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys ENERGY STAR program is partnering with pay-TV service providers to offer energy-efficient set-top boxes to their customers. Qualified set-top boxes can power down when not in use and are designed to be at least 40 percent more energy efficient than other models.
