Too old at 50? Seriously? A recent survey has revealed a concerning trend with nearly one in four HR managers believe that age 50 is too old to employ someone. At a time when Australians are working and living longer than ever, this perception not only ignores reality, it fuels a cycle of workplace exclusion, missed talent, and economic loss.

Older workers are overwhelmingly viewed as more loyal, more reliable and better able to cope with stress, so why do so many employers discriminate against job seekers when they turn 50 based solely on their age?

Come and join us at Agenda 2025 in Sydney next month to help tackle ageism in the workplace, Australia's last socially acceptable form of prejudice.

As Australia’s population ages, urban design needs to evolve with it and the 15-minute city concept offers an interesting solution. This planning model ensures that everything people need, for example, shops, healthcare, parks, transport, and community are all within a 15-minute walk or ride from home.

For older adults, this means:

• Easier access to essential services
• More opportunities for social connection
• Reduced reliance on cars and long commutes
• Greater independence and wellbeing

Designing age-friendly 15-minute cities isn’t just about convenience, it’s about dignity, inclusion, and sustainable ageing in place.

Whether by accident or design, AI systems are disproportionately filtering out mature-age candidates largely through the hidden bias baked into the data and tools themselves.

However, AI can and should be be part of a more equitable future, but only if it's actively designed with fairness in mind.

June marks Pride Month — a time to celebrate the vibrant diversity, resilience, and contributions of the LGBTQIA+ community. More than just a colourful celebration, Pride is a powerful reminder of the ongoing fight for equality, inclusion, and human rights. But discrimination is rarely experienced in isolation. For older LGBTQI+ people, age and identity are deeply intertwined, often compounding the challenges they face in employment.

Talent shortages are growing, but a multigenerational workforce holds the key. Ageism is often described as the last socially accepted form of discrimination. Yet, increasing numbers of workers are wanting to stay in the workforce well beyond the traditional retirement age, bringing invaluable skills and experience with them.

Embracing age-diversity isn’t just a matter of combatting ageism – it’s crucial for business success. By fostering an age-inclusive workforce, you’ll not only improve employee retention but also expand your talent pool, boost productivity and enhance innovation.

In this webinar, hosted by ReadyTech, we’ll explore the importance of age inclusivity in the workplace and how building a multigenerational workforce can give your business a competitive edge.
