German Company in Brazil Values Talents Over 50, Promoting Intergenerational Unity.
In today’s intricate professional landscape, finding opportunities after 50 years old seems to be a daunting task. The recent health crisis left more than 700,000 professionals from this age group unemployed, according to Caged data. The search for reemployment for these talents faces a common obstacle: age prejudice.
Challenging Paradigms and Breaking Stereotypes
Most companies, about 60% according to surveys, face resistance when hiring this demographic, driven by age-related prejudices. However, Gemü do Brasil, renowned for manufacturing valves across various sectors, views mature professionals in a different light: as a mine of knowledge and expertise.
