Becoming an Age-Friendly Employer
This Becoming an Age-Friendly Employer toolkit outlines strategies for fostering age-inclusive workplaces amid the UK’s ageing population. It highlights the value of multigenerational teams in boosting innovation and productivity, while addressing barriers such as age bias, inflexibility, and limited support for health and caregiving.
The guide focuses on five areas for action: flexible work, health and wellbeing, career development, inclusive recruitment, and an age-inclusive culture offering practical tools to help make your businesses recruitment practices more inclusive.
