Learn About Advantage 50+

The world of work is changing and, along with it, the profile of today's workforce. As our population ages, more and more mature workers are rethinking retirement and deciding to remain in the workforce longer, contributing valuable and needed knowledge and service to today's businesses.

At Advantage 50 Plus, we believe there are huge advantages to both mature workers and their employers that come from rethinking 'retirement'. Traditional ways of thinking drive towards 65 as the age to retire without considering that many mature adults actually enjoy working! Work provides a sense of belonging and contribution that can be hard to find through other means. The knowledge and experience that mature workers have can add invaluably to the strength of a business and at Advantage 50 Plus, we believe that knowledge can't be tagged with an 'expiration date'!

Forward thinking employers are starting to see the writing on the wall. Within the next 10 years, according to a recent report from Calgary Economic Development, Calgary will face a "93,000 person employee shortage". As workforce planning strategies start to address this issue, the rehiring or retaining of mature workers will become an increasing priority.

At Advantage 50 Plus, we are dedicated to rethinking retirement for both employers and employees. In addition to helping mature workers find the opportunities best suited to their skills and work style, Advantage 50 Plus works with employers to capitalize on opportunities for retention, rehiring, mentorship, and phased retirement.
