Elton's Emmy | The award proves that there is plenty to gain from working with 'older' employees

The award proves that there is plenty to gain from working with 'older' employees

Are you a so-called older worker? If so, do you often feel pigeon holed or overlooked when it comes to promotion, advice or accolades at work?

Scooping the award means that Sir Elton is now an 'EGOT' - Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award-winner. It's a huge accolade. And shows us that it's never 'over' for the so-called 'older' generation. He's only the 19th person to be able to say he is an EGOT, and, at 76, that's flying the flag for the 'older worker'.
