The Matures (1905-1945) make up about 5% of the workplace. But that percentage will continue to grow as the aging population will not retire. For the Matures, it is all about the team winning and not individual people in the team. Through hands-on training and great interpersonal skills, they serve as the quality control police for the team! Matures are still vital in the workplace as their knowledge of the company, products and procedures is astounding. The problem comes when Matures are not allowed to offer valuable information to the team’s success because they were intentionally left out of discussions or viewed as being “too old.” If you have Matures on staff, be open to their vast knowledge by always including them in final decisions.
