[Via Email From: Arthur Phillips, Age Positive]
It’s time to bring ageism to an end - to stamp out misguided attitudes that people are past it after 50 or incapable of doing a responsible job when they are young. Being positive about age is about building an effective workforce of different ages. Businesses of all sizes are reporting the benefits of employing an age-diverse workforce – higher retention rates, lower absenteeism, increased motivation, greater flexibility and a wider pool of skills.
Focus on potential, skills and ability... not age.
