Workplace wisdom: unlocking the potential of senior profiles

 

For some time now, the working world has been undergoing significant change. Societal values are changing, and employees are willing to step out of their comfort zone in search of new opportunities and challenges, even at an advanced age, as is the case with senior profiles.

 

 

What is a senior profile?

 

A senior profile is a professional with a long track record and experience in their field. These individuals have accumulated years of knowledge and skills that make them an invaluable asset to any organisation, but they are often discarded or replaced by younger staff, whether due to generational stereotypes, technological adaptability, overqualification...

 

 

At Axxon, we want to highlight the value of counting on these profiles, and we recognise the importance of supporting senior professionals in their quest for continuous development and growth, with the intention of promoting self-realisation and achieving a more competitive professional profile.

 

 

Active ageing for a more active world

 

The concept of 'active ageing' focuses on the idea that ageing should not be seen as an inevitable decline, but as a stage of life full of opportunities and possibilities. By providing an inclusive working environment that is responsive to changing needs, organisations can harness the potential of older workers.

 

 

Some of the benefits of employing senior profiles include:

 

• Diversity of perspectives: senior profiles bring a unique and valuable perspective to teams, enriching decision making and problem solving.

 

• Stability and reliability: experience often brings a higher level of stability and integrity to work performance.

 

• Mentoring and talent development: senior professionals can play a mentoring role, passing on knowledge and experience to younger generations.

 

 

Integrating expertise: a strategic investment

 

Experience and knowledge accumulated over the years are valuable assets for any organisation. By integrating senior profiles into teams and projects, organisations make a strategic investment in their long-term success and in turn help these professionals to have a purpose and be an active part of society.

 

 

Self-fulfilment and a sense of accomplishment are fundamental to well-being and job satisfaction. Providing meaningful opportunities for senior profiles fulfils a deep need for people to feel valued and to be active contributors to society.

 

 

At Axxon, we embrace talent in every sense of the word, and we particularly value the experience and wisdom that seniors can bring to the table. By recognising and valuing experience, we help build stronger teams that are ready for the challenges of the future.
