Description
Having an age-diverse workforce enables organisations to draw on a broad mix of ideas, skills and experience while at the same time gaining key insights into the needs of multi-generational customers and service-users. Where younger employees might have a strong grasp of new technologies and web-based business media, for example, older staff can bring experience, maturity and vital interpersonal skills – all of which combine to deliver huge benefits. However, bias around age often means that employers are failing to reap these benefits and employees of all ages are falling victim to negative stereotypes, with worrying implications for their careers. This course sets out the benefits of an age-diverse workforce and provides guidance on best practice for tackling age bias and supporting staff at every stage of their working lives.
