Older people can face many barriers to accessing and staying in employment, such as the lack of flexible working for those with caring responsibilities or those living with long term health conditions.
With the current cost-of-living crisis hitting older people particularly hard, it is more important than ever that we enable older people to enter and stay in employment, should they wish to do so.
That is why Age Cymru and its partners have organised an in-person event ‘A spotlight on employment and older people’ that is being held at the Senedd buildings in Cardiff on 31 January 2023 from 12pm to 2pm.
The event will explore how employers in Wales are creating workplaces where older workers can thrive, and the benefits that a mixed aged workforce can bring to organisations.
The event is based on a collection of essays written in 2022 by academics, employers, and older employees for Age Cymru’s academic journal EnvisAGE.
If you would like to attend, please contact Dr Ceri Cryer at ceri.cryer@agecymru.org.uk, or call 029 2043 1555.
