Realising the benefits of an age-diverse workforce
Take George, who was made redundant in his 50s and wanted a less stressful job closer to home, but found it difficult to be taken seriously in interviews.
Many people make assumptions and have misconceptions about people like George, which have nothing to do with George, himself, and everything to do with his age. Would your staff be able to look beyond this prejudice and see George, the individual?
The Equality Act 2010 makes it illegal to discriminate against employees, job seekers or trainees on the grounds of age. More and more organisations are reaping the business rewards of a mixed-age workforce. Make sure yours is one of them.
Developed in partnership with The Employer's Forum on Age (EFA), this solution provides guidance on best practice in the workplace and emphasises the value of an age-diverse workforce.
