mature workers
Experienced older staff
Mature workers are employees who are older, typically past middle age but still in the workforce.
The term is a polite alternative to "older workers" in employment contexts, often appearing in HR discussions about workforce demographics, age discrimination, or the value of experience: The company actively recruits mature workers for their reliability and institutional knowledge.
The precise age threshold varies but generally starts somewhere between 50 and 55.
