The diverse and friendly environment at McDonald's very much appeals to middle-aged people and seniors looking for work, human resources vice president Lan Yu- hsiu (藍郁琇) said.
McDonald's currently employs 3,800 individuals aged 45 or over, accounting for 17 percent of its total workforce of 22,000 in Taiwan, with 10 percent over 60, she noted, adding that more than 30 percent of its middle-aged and senior employees have worked at the company for over 10 years.
In addition, McDonald's said, it is also looking to hire 300 individuals for managerial positions, offering a monthly salary of NT$40,000 (US$1,298) to NT$57,200. Such managers can earn as much as NT$1.5 million annually if year-end bonus and performance-based benefits are included, it added.
In an effort to cash in on a big increase in post-COVID business opportunities, the hospitality sector has been actively expanding its workforce recently.
In April, the Hotel Royal Group launched a recruitment campaign featuring newly designed friendly job openings with flexible time schedules in a bid to encourage more elderly or middle-aged job seekers to re-enter the employment market.
