Is your company Ageist?
One of the ways to build diversity in your workforce is to take a look at whether your company is ageist.
Carole Easton, chief executive of the Centre for Ageing Better, said: “Ageism is the prejudice that’s hidden in plain sight. We see and hear casual ageism every day – it’s embedded in our society and even accepted as normal by many of us who are older.
In one study (read more in the article link), 37 per cent of respondents in their 50s and 60s who encountered age discrimination in the previous 12 months said it occurred most frequently in the workplace.
A multi-generational workforce means that you have teams with a more diverse outlook and complementary skills.
