We are delighted to be sponsoring National Older Workers Week (NOWW), which runs from the 21 – 25 November 2022. The week aims to put a spotlight on the issues older workers are facing and inspire action by employers to promote age diversity.
Commenting Catherine Foot, Director of Phoenix Insights said
“We want to do more to celebrate older workers and we want to inspire others to join us in taking action. From flexible working to Midlife MOTs, from menopause support to challenging ageism, there are so many things we can all do as individuals, colleagues, managers and leaders to make workplaces more inclusive, productive and enjoyable across all ages. As the UK’s largest long-term savings and retirement business we want to help people secure a life of possibilities. With over 1/3 of the UK workforce already aged 50+, we hope this week will generate new ideas and help more people benefit in work from the opportunities of longer lives.”
As we plan activities for our colleagues to take place during NOWW, the co-chairs of our employee network, Ignite, have been talking to NOWW organisers Working Wise.
