Government states by 2020 there will be around 25 million people over the age of 50 in the UK and therefore, for both social and economic reasons, our attitude to employing and retaining older staff within our workplace needs a radical overhaul.
Age discrimination is illegal in the UK but it still exists. We want to encourage Inclusion and Fairness at work because tackling discrimination helps to attract, motivate and retain multi-generational staff, as well as enhancing your reputation as an employer. Furthermore, it has been proven that diversity leads to creativity and creativity is essential in the development of a business.
Greys Matter® has been established to support businesses in their journey to become fully Inclusive and Fair. We offer advice and services to both businesses and individuals wishing to overcome Ageism anywhere in the Workplace
