Express Employment Professionals was recently named one of AARP’s Best Employers for Workers Over 50, according to Anita Crane, Terre Haute’s Express franchisee.

This annual program recognizes organizations that are leading the way in addressing issues of the aging work force through cutting-edge best practices and policies.

AARP’s best companies program was launched in 2001 to recognize that by 2014, almost one-third of the U.S. work force will be composed of employees 50 and up. “We are proud to be recognized by AARP for our company’s efforts in making strides for mature workers,” said Crane. “At Express, our mission is to find great jobs for great people – of all ages. We’re excited to be a part of this group of top employers for this age group.”

Applicants for AARP’s best employers list are judged on recruiting practices, training opportunities, education and career development, workplace accommodations, alternative work options, health and pension benefits, retiree benefits and age and diversity of the work force.

The Terre Haute Express Employment Professionals franchise began operation in 1996 and serves the Wabash Valley with temporary help and direct-hire employees in a variety of fields, including clerical, industrial, technical and professional areas.

The Terre Haute Express office at 2229 S. Third St. is accepting applications. Businesses seeking employees may stop by the office, call (812) 232-9090, visit www.express
