Employers
The workforce in the UK is changing. Understanding the challenges and opportunities of an ageing population is vital if we want to create productive, innovative and inclusive multi-generational teams as we all lead longer working lives. Make sure you are an age-friendly employer, and learn how we all benefit from inclusive, multi-generational teams.

Strategies for an ageing workforce
Post a job
The number of over 50s in the workforce has been rising fast in recent years, boosted by changes in the retirement age. What is the employment landscape really like for older workers? We would love to hear from employers about the challenges they are facing with an ageing workforce, what policies and procedures they are putting in place and what they see as the next stages.
Please note that all responses will remain strictly anonymous, and will be published in a general overview on workingwise.co.uk and via associated coverage.
We would like to thank our sponsors UBS and The Financial Services Compensation Scheme for their support of this survey.
