The Caring Presence is a certified Mature Worker Friendly Employer.

More employers are recognizing the value of experienced Mature Workers everyday. Changing demographics and social trends are leading toward new perceptions in the workforce.

With the number of jobs increasing and the growing number of Baby Boomers nearing traditional retirement age, the loss of skilled talent within our workforce is imminent.

The realization that mature workers bring a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and professionalism to the workplace is leading employers to re-think traditional retirement.

Today, employers are focusing on recruitment and retention of mature workers as one way to address their workforce shortages. The State of Arizona recognizes these employers as pioneers in the ever-changing Arizona workforce by offering a Mature Worker Friendly Employer Certification.
