Study Shows Not Enough Being Done to Fight Workplace Age Bias

A recent study conducted by The Academy of Management has found a lack of “mature-age practices” to engage older workers. Human Resources Executive Online reports that while these types of programs have gone far to reduce stereotypes and increase mature worker engagement and overall productivity, most organizations have not adopted any such programs. Human Resources Executive Online encourages employers to consider reverse mentoring programs, and says challenging and meaningful work assignments should be available to all employees, regardless of age.
