SINGAPORE: Over 28,000 staff at the National Healthcare Group and Singapore Health Services can look forward to being re-employed in the same or a different job when they reach the age of 62, if they have a good work record and are in good health.
The two healthcare clusters say they are not waiting till 2012 – the year when the re-employment legislation kicks in – to tap on the silver workforce.
Besides re-employment, there are also plans to do more for the older workers to make their workplace more conducive.
In the case of Alexandra Hospital, it has launched a Workplace Health Promotion Programme to enhance employability through better health and lifestyle management.
Last September, SingHealth launched the Silver Connection movement to engage its mature staff.
The two healthcare groups have also held workshops on financial planning and setting of personal goals for their workers.
