Age-Inclusive Practice Measurement Diagnostic
When it comes to tackling ageism in the workplace, most organisations have looked to training managers in unconscious bias in order to improve individuals’ decision-making. The focus has been on managers to change but not the work environments they operate within. Our research has highlighted that organisation history, norms, practices and policies have the most significant impact on reinforcing ageism practices. Managers’ ageist views are driven more by compliance with organisation attitudes towards age than personal belief.
EncourAGEEQUALITY is proud to announce the launch of our Age Inclusive Practices Diagnostic to help you pinpoint where ageist practices are embedded in your everyday practices and policies. Anchored in established institutional and leadership research, our diagnostic is designed to analyse specific organisation factors and to identify ageist practices built into your culture management, strategy development and talent management practices.
Once identified, EncourAGEEQUALITY can help you to implement pragmatic methods proven to create a sustainable age inclusive workplace and workforce.
Please contact us to learn more about this powerful tool and how it can help your business. For more information please call Tim (0405 976 577) or Colleen (0430 246 876), or send us an email.
