What is the prevalence of age discrimination among older workers?
A recent survey indicates that 9 in 10 workers aged 50 and older experience age discrimination in the workplace.
What are the impacts of age discrimination on older employees?
Older employees often face wage gaps, career stagnation, microaggressions, and exclusion from operations. For instance, over half report earning less than younger colleagues in similar roles, and nearly one-quarter have been excluded from challenging assignments.
How can employers address age discrimination in the workplace?
Employers can audit current practices to identify pay disparities, execute leadership training on age bias, and review policies to explicitly address age discrimination. These actions not only promote compliance but also enhance workplace culture and employee engagement.
