Just the Right Age
Gammel Nok helps seniors find work and remain longer in the workforce by delivering staffing solutions and practical services to the private and public sectors.
Older Does Not Mean “Too Old”
Many people over the age of 50 involuntarily fall outside the labour market, a situation that is unsustainable for the welfare system, as well as a waste of human resources needed in society. Research also shows that it is not good for one’s health to retire early. Many people feel that they lose their identity as individuals and professionals when they leave the labour market, leading to loneliness and poorer health – both mental and physical.
Gammel Nok helps seniors, with the capacity and desire to work, find employment by offering three different staffing solutions:
1. Staffing: Employment of 50+ resources for positions in private and public business.
2. Practical assistance: Seniors help other seniors with practical tasks.
3. Care: Flexible solutions for older healthcare workers who do not want to work full-time but still have a lot to contribute to the healthcare sector.
The pensioners of tomorrow will be the fittest and best educated older population Norway will have ever seen, and the average Norwegian 60-year-old is enormously resourceful. Working improves public health, and research shows that continuing to work provides a stronger sense of connectedness. More people being in work means a reduced healthcare cost for society, as well as greater well-being for the individuals.
Gammel Nok was awarded the title of Social Entrepreneur of the Year in 2015.
