“Hiring Employees for Lifetime”

Businesses should hire employees for their entire lives. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
-----------------------------------------------------------

I don’t agree that businesses should hire the people on life time basis. With the age people depreciate in health thereby person’s working capacity reduces. One many develop health problems like Arthritis Weak Vision; Hypertension; and many more. An old man with all those constraints can not give required output and the business may suffer or even may get paralyzed for that matter. Needless to say business is after all business and not a charity hence if the person is unable to deliver goods he or she must either volunteer to retire else must be forced to retire. Emotions in business never work.

Furthermore very great innovations and improvements are taking place day and on. Newer technologies and techniques with ingenious gadgets with quite unique modus operandi are coming into the market. An old person is not aware of these nor can he or she adjust with it. Besides, it is difficult for old aged persons to keep pace with the time in this rapidly changing scenario. A lack of speed may result into heavy losses or even closure of that company. This does not only cause loss of money to the business owner but also to the general public by large who are the end users of this company’s products and service. Low outputs and low turnover do not only affect the company owner but it has a negative impact on national economy too.

In conclusion business must be management oriented and not emotion oriented. In the interest of the high turnover and proceeds, older employees must retire and new generation with new ideas, techniques, and zeal must work for the company. And none should be employed on lifetime basis.
