| Annotation | IFF Research Ltd was commissioned by the Age Partnership Group (APG) and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), as part of a National Guidance Campaign, to undertake a series of case studies drawn from the Age Positive champion employers. The aim is to assist in policy development in this area, and to provide more practical guidance to other employers looking to change their policies to ensure an age positive approach. More specifically, the study aimed to secure more information about: policies that have been implemented and the changes in working practices that were necessary as a result; the difficulties encountered and how these have been overcome or could be avoided; and the business benefits of age positive policies. 31 case studies were conducted with a cross-section of the 100 Age Positive employer champions. This report covers findings and comments from these case studies on issues around: recruitment policies; selection; promotion and progression; training and development; redundancy; and retirement. The questionnaire used is included in the appendices. (RH). |
