New roles introduced to help senior bus captains stay in workforce longer

Transport operator Tower Transit is introducing new job roles to help senior bus captains stay in the workforce longer. Older captains can transition into less physically demanding roles while contributing their expertise. An alliance formed under a workgroup on senior employment is partnering about 30 organisations to develop age-friendly jobs. Such initiatives are expected to pave the way for more firms to follow suit as Singapore becomes a super-aged society. Charlotte Lim reports.
