For around 15 years the firm Fahrion Engineering GmbH & Co. KG has been meeting the challenges of demographic change in its own way. This has its roots in the company’s particular biography, which has resulted in its own unique approach to staff recruitment and a particular appreciation of the value of older employees and the strength of their informal competences. The article cites reasons which necessitate targeted communication with the generation aged 50+ when recruiting and employing skilled workers.
