What is Age-Inclusive Accreditation?

The importance of recognising, celebrating and retaining older workers is becoming ever more important to the ESG diversity agenda. 30% of the global workforce will be aged 50 or over by 2050, and ensuring they have a valued place in your business is vital to growing your business.

As part of your recruitment and HR processes, being able to demonstrate to over-50s candidates that you are an Age-Inclusive Accredited employer gives them the confidence that they will be recognised, heard and valued in the workplace.

  • Position yourself as thought and agenda leaders to your employees, customers and future candidates.
  • Boost your employee value proposition by demonstrating your age-inclusive status – an often forgotten pillar of DEI and ESG agendas.
  • Attract a new cohort of candidates and develop multigenerational teams.
  • Boost employee morale and reduce staff attrition.
  • Demonstrate your commitment to ESG initiatives by building a sustainable, resilient and purpose-led organisation.
