Workplace Training
The UK's workforce is ageing, but many organisations aren’t ready for the shift.
A third of the UK’s workforce is over 50, and the number of employees aged 65 and over has tripled in the past two decades. Yet only 42% of UK managers say they are open to hiring people aged 50-64. With ageism still widespread and retirement plans rarely discussed, organisations risk losing valuable skills and knowledge.
Let us help your organisation adapt and thrive in an evolving, age-diverse workforce.
Karen Tallis, Workplace Training Coordinator
Through our research with over 20 diverse organisations in an extensive consultancy programme, we have identified the common key priority areas for promoting age inclusion in the workplace. These insights have shaped our training offering, enabling employers to improve age inclusion, boost retention, enhance productivity among older workers, and support intergenerational workplaces.
With over 17,000 individuals trained across 270 organisations and 98% recommending our work, we help businesses retain older employees, facilitate knowledge transfer, and cultivate a more inclusive culture.
