Our Ageism Standard
Understanding Ageism: Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination
Ageism encompasses how we think (stereotypes), feel (prejudice), and act (discrimination) toward others based on their age. It is a pervasive issue that affects people of all ages, starting from childhood. The consequences of ageism are far-reaching, impacting health, well-being, and human rights.
Ageism in the business world
In the business environment, ageism often remains unspoken. Each individual brings their unique perspective and vision. Every business operates with its distinct set of rules and practices. Recognising ageism as a fundamental aspect of business, and proactively define guidelines is a key to success.
The tri-ways concept
Ageism in the business sector manifests in three main directions: through
- product and services offering,
- communication, and
- governance.
