SMEs & Older Workers Learning Workshop

Everyone has the right to a good life as they get older and our whole society benefits when they do. But far too many people face huge barriers that prevent them from doing so. As a result, many older people are living in bad housing, dealing with poverty and poor health and made to feel invisible in their communities and society.Ageism, including discrimination in employment, stark inequalities in people’s health and financial circumstances, chronic underinvestment in helping people to age well and a lack of political focus – are all contributing to this growing and critical problem.At the Centre for Ageing Better we are pioneering ways to make ageing better a reality for everyone. We aim to inspire and inform those in power to tackle the inequalities faced by older people, call out and challenge ageism in all its forms and encourage the widespread take-up of brilliant ideas and approaches that help people to age better.Get it right and more of us can experience good health, financial security and be treated fairly and with respect as we grow older.Help us make sure everyone can age better.

We invite you to join us at a workshop in Lincoln (09:30 - 12:00) on Monday 3rd July 2023

Lincolnshire County Council Office Building (Lancaster House)

<h2>SMEs &amp; Older Workers Learning Workshop</h2>The Centre for Ageing Better and Lincolnshire partners are bringing together SMEs to share learning around the recruitment and retention of older workers. 1 in 3 workers in the UK are age 50+, and yet workers in their 50s and 60s routinely face barriers to work, and employers are missing out on the benefits of a truly multigenerational workforce.During the workshops, businesses and organisations will hear about practical tips and guidance that they can use following the day. They will also have the opportunity to share their views and experiences about the challenges of implementing age-friendly employment policies, and the kinds of support that they think would help them.The learning and views from the SMEs will also feed into the Centre for Ageing Better&#x27;s national Age-friendly Employer Pledge and help shape support and guidance for SMEs across the country to take an age inclusive approach.The workshops will be held in person on Mon Jul 03 2023. Participants will have the opportunity to network with other local businesses and learn from experts in the field of age-friendly employment.Workshop details:<ul><li>Lincoln from 09:30-12:00 (Lancaster House, 36 Orchard Street, Lincoln, Lincolnshire, LN1 1YL)</li></ul>Don&#x27;t miss this chance to improve your workplace and create a more inclusive environment for employees of all ages!
