Some people believe that elderly employees are more useful to a company, while others believe that young employees are better. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

When hiring employees, companies generally prefer a healthy mix of

both

older and younger employees but there are some companies that prefer younger employees, as younger employees result in increased productivity whereas older employees are more loyal and trustworthy. Most older employees are resources who have been employed for a long period of time within the

company

. They are either assets or liabilities to said companies. They are assets because the

company

has trained them according to the

company

’s requirements and given them many years of experience which means that these employees fit the role designated to them by the

company

perfectly. They are a liability when they have been working for the

company

and they have a higher scope of growth when compared to older employees. Another benefit of having them is that they can be replaced easily. One of the drawbacks of younger employees is that they cannot be trusted as easily as older employees.
