“Stories matter. Amplifying the positive business impact of #olderworkers can help persuade other employers to see the potential from having older workers on the payroll.” @cfarrellecon @NextAvenue
How Colorado Is Tackling Age Diversity in the Workforce nextavenue.org/older-workers… The question that haunts older workers is this: Will employers embrace them as things rebound or will ageist stereotypes deny them job opportunities? Colorado a good test case.
The falling unemployment rate of older workers in January does not, alas, mean older workers are getting rehired - they're just dropping out of the labor force. blog.aarp.org/thinking-polic…

Congratulations @JoAnn_Jenkins on being recognized by @IdeagenGlobal for her commitment and impact in helping to empower women and girls around the world.
Just think how much more innovative tech can be if it embraces this kind of diversity
It's 2020. Four men start recruitment agency, say "Our hope is that we can help address the industry’s many diversity issues – including ethnic, gender, age and geographic.” @campaignmag @traktionhq #manel
Business imperative indeed. Champion age diversity by signing the AARP Employer Pledge at aarp.org/employerpledge
Transforming equity, inclusion and social injustice is not only a social imperative, it is a business imperative. To meet this challenge, companies should create a diverse workforce that is representative of the consumer-at-large. weforum.org/agenda/2020/10/w…

#ElderAbuse comes in many forms: physical, financial & emotional. #Socialisolation can increase #olderAdults risk of abuse, neglect, & exploitation. And, fraudsters are taking advantage of #COVID19 w/ scams like these ➡️ bit.ly/3dYfZci. #ElderAbuseAwarenessDay #seniors
50+ workers bring a wealth of soft skills, life experience, and wisdom to their roles - retaining and re-hiring them during challenging times makes good business sense. #agediversitymatters

“An age-diverse workforce is a strength. Each generation brings benefits that enhance the workplace environment & each has different ways of working & putting their skills to use”. Join our CEO @JoAnn_Jenkins at the @wef annual meeting on the multigenerational workforce. #wef20
Businesses that want to tap into the significant spending power in the #longevityeconomy should include older workers and build mixed-age teams.

If the #futureofwork IS learning, investment in human capital becomes a business imperative @heathermcgowan @JobTrendsJen @ElderNomics

You wouldn't turn away customers for being over 40, so why turn away job candidates for the same reason? #Inclusion2019 #ShiftWorkCulture #agediscrimination
Have you ever been denied a beignet based on your age? How about a job? @AARP with the #realtalk here at #Inclusion 2019. #ShiftWorkCulture
Although certain age-bias terms are banned by the EEOC, they still appear in thousands of job postings, which keep older workers from applying. Companies could be losing out on great candidates with these practices. @geogrify @digitalageist - aarp.org/work/working-at-50-…
