Age Inclusion Discovery
Six questions…a fresh perspective on age in your organisation.
How often do you look at your organisation through an age lens? Age Inclusion Discovery is a free resource from The Age Diversity Forum, designed to help organisations of every size explore how age is considered across their workplace.
It isn’t a test. There is no score and there are no right or wrong answers…instead, six thought-provoking questions invite you to look at your people, practices and future workforce from a different perspective, and perhaps discover questions you haven’t considered before…different ages…a stronger tomorrow.
No scoring, no judgement, just a different way of looking at your organisation…there’s two ways to Discover:
Whatever the size of your organisation
You don’t need an HR team or detailed workforce data to start, as Age inclusion isn’t only an issue for large employers. Whether you’re a small organisation where people know each other well, a growing business beginning to formalise its people practices, or a large employer with extensive workforce data, there are useful questions to ask.
Start with what you know, be curious about what you don’t, and use Discovery to begin the conversation.
Different organisations…Different starting points…One important conversation.
What might you discover?
Discovery isn’t designed to tell you whether your organisation is good or bad at age inclusion, but it may instead help you:
-
recognise something you’re already doing well
-
identify something you’ve never considered through an age lens
-
uncover a gap in what you know about your workforce
-
challenge an assumption about age or career stage
-
start a different conversation with colleagues, or
-
identify something practical you want to explore next
Discovery isn’t about producing a score, it’s about producing better questions.
Your responses can help us discover more, too.
As organisations use Age Inclusion Discovery, we will build a better understanding of how workplaces are thinking about age inclusion. We will bring responses together to identify broader themes and trends, helping inform future research, insights and resources.
Where information is used for wider research and insight, it will be anonymised or aggregated. We will not publicly identify an individual respondent or attribute findings to a named organisation without an appropriate basis or permission.
Your contact information for completing Discovery is separate from your choice about receiving future ADF communications. You will only receive ongoing ADF communications where you separately choose to stay connected.
Where could Discovery take you?
Discovery may simply prompt a useful conversation…you may decide to review an existing practice through an age lens, gather better workforce information, involve colleagues or try a small change…or you may discover that there are questions you’d like to explore in greater depth.
For organisations wanting a more detailed, evidence-based understanding of their approach to age inclusion, the ADF Age Inclusion Benchmark provides the next level of insight.
