Men worked up over looming retirement

Researchers said that should encourage employers to hang on to older, more experienced workers who are generally more "engaged". Women tend to start their careers with very high levels of employee engagement which then show a steady drop over the course of their working lives until, at the end of their careers, they "bounce' back", albeit not as dramatically as male colleagues. The research was by scientists at the University of Portsmouth. They said the findings appear to offer encouragement to employers who want older workers to work beyond the current statutory retirement age.
