“Too many people are told "you're overqualified"” - Stuart Lewis from Rest Less UK. Employers are increasingly waking up to the benefits of a more flexible and dynamic workforce, and a highly skilled rich life experience means older candidates are often the perfect employees. And yet, #ageism in the workforce still exists. In our webinar last month we covered the different #ageinclusive practices leading companies have implemented to both nurture employees and grow their businesses.

You have to think differently.” - Sian Dodd from Toyota Motor Corporation. In our latest webinar, Sian highlights the advantages of actively hiring from the over-50s demographic.
