SAFE

The Solutions for Age-Friendly Employer (SAFE) project unites four project partners from Estonia, Finland, and Sweden to enhance employment opportunities for older workers (55+).

As people continue working later in life, they often encounter ageism, which can manifest as prejudice, discrimination, or neglect. SAFE aims to counteract these issues by developing and promoting age-friendly practices and tools, ensuring that people are valued and supported in their professional environments regardless of their age.

Let’s make age equality the norm to foster a thriving, diverse workforce!

Expected results

  • A SAFE model – comprehensive framework to implement age-friendly solutions through organisational self-assessment
  • Pilot programmes in health and well-being sector companies, facilitating a culture shift towards inclusivity
  • Workshops and trainings among workplace representatives
  • Policy recommendations
  • A podcast series to identify and address age-related challenges

Ultimately, the project will promote sustainable changes in the Central Baltic region, allowing older people to remain valuable contributors in workplaces, thus enriching both the culture and well-being of the work environment.
