The Multi-Generational Workforce: Tackling Age Bias
This short film looks at the impact of ageist bias and stereotypes.
Description
Having a wide range of ages in the workforce enables organisations to draw on a broad mix of ideas, skills and experience and gain a better understanding of the needs and expectations of an age-diverse customer or service-user base. However, bias and stereotypes around age can mean that employers are failing to recruit and retain the best people, and employees of all ages are missing out on opportunities. This short film looks at how tackling ageist bias and recognising what every generation can bring to the table enables employers to reap the benefits of an age-diverse workforce.
