| Annotation | This distance learning course is a useful tool to support employers to manage age diversity in employment. The course comprises five individual modules, and can be used either as a self-taught learning programme or as a reference guide. Module 1, Age auditing, explores the relevance of workforce culture, attitudes and communication in tackling ageism. Module 2, Age profiling, looks at monitoring the make-up of the workforce. Module 3, Better recruitment, concerns maximising the labour pool to fill vacancies. Module 4, Improved retention, is about realising and retaining workforce potential. Module 5, Retirement, examines the business benefits and challenges of having a flexible retirement strategy. This course was originally developed by Strathclyde University and Age Concern Training as part of the SME (small and medium-sized employers) age diversity project which ran in Scotland during 2003. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) worked in Scotland as a partner of the EQUAL Theme A (Employability) Development Partnership for Scotland, Equal Access, which is part funded by the EQUAL Community Initiative.
