What a joke! haha.. lame-mo. The club installed a horse-walking machine to relieve the work of 14 stable assistants aged 55 or older. The machine.. hehe.. prefer to call it horse treadmill, ;p, works like a merry-go-round with rotating frilles that keep up to eight horses walking around a circular track.
There is this Advantage! Scheme that Workforce Development Agency (WDA) has come up with to encourage companies to embrace older workers. The scheme is offering up to $400k to companies who adopts age-friendly work practices - such as redesigning jobs and restructuring wage systems- to recruit, retain and rehire older workers.
Killing two birds with one stone. the machine costs $100k only, you get $400k, you allow the knowledge of older workers to be passed on to younger colleagues.
Haha.. its a funny thing i feel. Everything being automated now. Singapore is addressing the labour shortage in the long term.
