Age Inclusive Workplaces

Scotland’s demographics are undergoing significant change. A third of your workforce are now likely to be over 50 and people are increasingly working into their 70s, retraining and starting new careers in mid-life. Simultaneously, the supply of younger workers is falling. As an employer you may face growing skills shortages and a shrinking pool of talent. Retaining experienced and committed employees is essential for the future of your business but our experience is that your workplace practices are likely to be behind the curve.

Age Scotland are experts in the whole spectrum of age related issues and we are uniquely positioned to provide you with practical, informed and legislatively accurate information helping you to create a workplace culture that is open, inclusive and positive about the benefits of age diversity.

Our suite of workplace workshops cover everything you can do as an employer to become more age inclusive, from recruitment to supporting health at work and enabling staff in mid-life to plan for their future. Our workshops are based on insights from both employers and employees and capture best practice from the most forward thinking organisations.
