The "40 under 80" project of the Lottery in collaboration with Walla!

and Globes, tells the inspiring story of 40 workers under the age of 80. In addition to veteran workers, hundreds of employers also take part in the project, of which we met four for a fascinating conversation about the benefits, importance and integration of employing older workers in the economy and the sense of mission they feel.



How do the veteran employees integrate into a young company?



"We don't check age. There is significance to professionalism and the person you are," said

Ornit Brands

, Vice President of Human Resources at Verifone. "We would actually be happy to look for the high-quality human capital, the older, stable employees, who persevere and come with a lot of experience and resilience," added

Orit Winder

, director of the human resources department at Pelephone. "The combination of the new, the innovative, with the excellence and the so-called seniority of the past - they are the right thing," continued

Meli Betsour Farnes

, CEO and owner of the Tefen company.

"It's a win win because it contributes to both sides and in the end it serves all worlds," noted

Liraz

Lebkowitz, Vice President of Human Resources at Delta.



What can be learned from the perspective of the veteran employees?



Meli

: "Today people are 60-70-80 years old, this is not what we used to know."



Ornit

: "When an older employee comes to work, he comes to work. They already have experience, seniority, professionalism and they know how to work in companies."



Orit

: "They are looking to run for the long term and want job security."



Liraz

: "These are employees who come with a lot of knowledge, with a toolbox and life experience that cannot compete with anything."



What success story of a veteran employee do you remember?



Ornit

: "A year ago we recruited an employee in a senior position in the development department. At some point, after he was hired, we found out that he was 72 years old. We had no idea and we didn't care, but what's funny is that in the job interview we asked him what he plans to do in ten years, and he He told us that he burst out laughing. He realized that we don't know his age and don't care about his age. He is an amazing employee at the company."



Orit

: "I think they have a lot to contribute. They are committed and come with a lot of experience."



Liraz

: "You can produce better business results when you produce diversity and difference."



Ornit

: "They bring a lot of stability, a lot of insights, a lot of life experience and work experience."



Meli

: "An organization that seeks loyalty, must and should invest even at this age."



And what about those who think that old workers have a hard time acquiring new skills?



Ornit

: "We are not encountering any difficulty. We have recruited veteran employees for senior technological positions, and they are doing them in an exceptional way."



Liraz

: "They want to do and try to taste new things."



Meli

: "You are still active, still want and still can, and if you give them the opportunity then they come, take it and kidnap it."



Orit

: "We know how to address all target audiences and make all our technological tools accessible to every population."



Meli

: "The seniority must be there. Being with older people, it's not that it's not something bad, it's the right thing. Generation Z, Generation X, Generation Y - in my opinion, their shared life is the key to the success of the entire organization."
