Age and
Anti-Ageism
Why we created this training.....
Ageism occurs whenever age is used to diminish the competency and capability of another. It is often thought of as something impacting older people, but it can affect us at any point throughout our lives, after all, age is the one characteristic we all have in common.
Ageism impacts how we think, feel, and act towards others. It is far more widely tolerated than other forms of discrimination and normalised by the things we say about ourselves. It can be challenging to notice and navigate when it happens subtly or is embedded into existing structures.
In the workplace, ageism can present itself in many different forms and can seriously impact individual wellbeing and company culture.

Today's workforce today is multigenerational; that's a fact. Even so, many organisations are risking so much by not using age as a lens when thinking about recruitment, retention and progression.
We always get such brilliant feedback from our amazing Pro Age Inclusion training, most recently:
"I found the ageism discussions thoroughly engaging and really took away from this the need to remove bias in recruitment, training our teams and supporting them"
Mike's approach to training is so completely inclusive, he puts everyone at ease. The sessions pepper in so many small changes that all organisations can make, which can have such HUGE impacts. Our audiences always leave feeling really inspired to act straight away.
