| Annotation | The benefits of a diverse workforce during a recession are emphasised in this guide, which gives examples of practice in companies such as B&Q, the Co-operative Group and BT, also the Local Government Association of Queensland. The avoidance of ageism in decisions around restructuring and downsizing the workforce is advocated, by means of resorting to flexible working and flexible retirement instead of redundancy. (RH). |
