Does age matter where you work? Is everyone treated fairly? Is the best person recruited for the job? Are all the team encouraged to develop their skills?
Both young and old can be discriminated against because of their age. But legislation now makes it unlawful to do so directly or indirectly. And employing people of all ages makes good business sense.
As Old As You Feel uses an entertaining cartoon approach to create an amusing general awareness raiser of the AGE related business issues.
It demonstrates the team leader's role in promoting a positive approach to age in particular, and diversity in general. It is lighthearted, but carries a very serious message.
Topics covered include age awareness, diversity and equal opportunities. It also looks at management issues where an awareness of age diversity should be important – such as interviewing and performance review situations.
This DVD which is narrated by popular radio broadcaster Jenni Murray can be used for training managers and team leaders, and also all members of staff within the organisation – as age diversity is an important issue that all should be aware of. The programme can also be used for self-study.
Key Learning Points:
- How age discrimination affects people of all ages
- The Employment Equality (Age) Regulations
- The benefits of a positive approach
- The implications for the manager’s job
DVD (10 minutes), user guide & detailed training notes with presentation slides
The Work Place Learning Centre Team recommend this learning programme for all employees and especially managers and team leaders, because its light hearted style is great for breaking down barriers and getting a discussion going.
