(OPEN):
THREE EMPLOYERS FROM MASSACHUSETTS WERE RECOGNIZED IN THIS YEAR'S "A-A-R-P
BEST EMPLOYERS FOR WORKERS OVER 50"-AWARDS. THE THREE WERE:
"MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL", M-I-T, AND
"TUFTS HEALTH PLAN"--A FIRST-TIME WINNER. MICHAEL
FESTA [AS IN "FESTIVE" AND "FRESCA"] IS A-A-R-P
MASSACHUSETTS' STATE-DIRECTOR...
(FESTA):
"THESE THREE
EMPLOYERS REPRESENT HEALTHCARE AND EDUCATION--TWO SECTORS THAT HELP
DRIVE THE MASSACHUSETTS-ECONOMY; THEY LIKELY WILL ALSO BE HIT FIRST AND
HARDEST BY THE AGING-WORKFORCE. AS EMPLOYERS FACE THIS
GENERATIONAL SHIFT, IT'S IN THEIR BEST INTEREST TO RETAIN AND RECRUIT
EXPERIENCED WORKERS. 'BEST EMPLOYERS' RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF
INNOVATIVE POLICIES--SUCH AS FLEXIBLE WORK-SCHEDULES, PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT, JOB-SHARING, JOB-REDESIGN, GOOD HEALTH-BENEFITS, AND
OPPORTUNITIES TO SAVE FOR RETIREMENT. EMPLOYERS WHO PREPARE TODAY
HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE MORE COMPETITIVE TOMORROW; THEY ARE ALSO
CHARTING THE COURSE FOR OTHER EMPLOYERS TO FOLLOW."

THE BIENNIAL AWARDS ARE SPONSORED BY A-A-R-P AND THE "SOCIETY FOR
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT". FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT
