Workplace ageism: How to fix it

Available for over a year

We examine the employers and schemes attempting to redress the balance. By 2025, there will be an extra one million workers over the age of 50 in the UK. With an ageing population and a hospitality labour shortage, businesses are seeking new solutions to fill their staffing needs. One solution is to tap into the older workforce. Ed visits The Dorchester in London, which has seen an increase in its older workers, to find out how it promotes itself as an age friendly place to work. What can older workers do to improve their odds in the workplace and how do we correct what are often deep-rooted cultural ideas?
