Finding a new job seems to be difficult or even impossible for many people after the age of fifty: Retirement age is approaching, non-wage labor costs are getting higher and there are sometimes prejudices about a lack of flexibility or declining productivity.
newplace is therefore very keen to change these framework conditions for older working people in the long term. We are also firmly convinced that, in view of the ageing population and the shortage of skilled workers, it is essential to keep older employees in their jobs and reintegrate unemployed people over 50 into working life.
Nevertheless, the commitment of employees is also essential - and this applies to all employees, regardless of their age. Experience shows that as soon as they have been successfully hired, many people rest and stop developing - partly because they don't know where they want to go.
To prevent this uncertainty and the associated stagnation, regular assessments - not just from the age of 50+ - can bring tremendous added value - both personally and professionally.
In a career assessment, employees can find out more about their potential, reflect on their career and gain new impetus. The process at newplace is such that the objectives are defined in an initial meeting, which will form the basis for the program design, scope and content of the tailor-made assessment.
So it doesn't matter at what age an assessment takes place for the first time - it is important to regularly examine your own strengths and potential, especially as you get older and gain experience.
