Many of those employees were recruited during a two-week trip to Paris, London, Berlin, Warsaw, Prague and Bratislava. For the workers themselves, a job in a national park has a different appeal. Amfac has also been targeting seniors to fill seasonal positions for several years. The company appreciates seniors' work ethics, experience, flexibility and ability to work until the end of the season. Amfac has tapped this market because this growing segment of the population simply wants to work longer.
Seniors also possess diversity and wisdom that make for a more interesting workplace.
