What is Age Equity?
Age Equity in the workplace refers to building a base of talent across the age spectrum to maximize cognitive diversity, increase innovation and decision-making, and improve business outcomes. Studies show that, like other forms of diversity, ensuring varying levels of skill and experience strengthens outcomes.
Why Age Matters
Talent management success depends on access to talent. Workers 65+ represent the fastest-growing talent pool. Moreover, studies show the population of younger workers is not growing fast enough to fill future needs. AND, 60 percent of workers 50+ have seen or experienced age discrimination in the workplace.
