What can employers do to reduce age discrimination?

This was the question posed to HR specialists. Dive into the insights from these professionals and explore the videos for more information.

Is age discrimination still a thing in the workplace? Unfortunately, yes, but the good news is that it’s not too tough to start fixing it. The Silver Strategies project is on a mission to change our mindsets and break down those outdated stereotypes.

It’s crucial to shift the existing mindset that’s ingrained in many workplaces and society. It’s time to realize that people in their 50s and 60s are not just ready to work but can make a significant impact!

A major step forward is rethinking how we hire. By adjusting our hiring practices to focus on abilities rather than age, we can significantly reduce age bias. It’s really about the skills and value someone adds to the team.

Remember, staying current is essential for everyone, regardless of age. The world of work is always evolving, and keeping your skills up-to-date is a smart move for any career.

There are plenty of strategies to improve both hiring and staff retention for a more inclusive workplace. If you’re looking for more ideas and real-life examples, the Silver Strategies videos are a great place to start. Let’s work towards making the workplace an age-inclusive space!
These videos are available in Estonian with English subtitles.
