How can tackling workplace ageism boost our economy?

Join us at RSA House on 25 November, from 6-7pm, for a vital discussion on the cost of workplace ageism. Our expert panel will explore how addressing ageism in the workplace could boost the UK’s economy by £9 billion annually - an essential move for the country's future prosperity.

Current research reveals that workers over 50 are being rejected from key roles across the country, with discrimination and bias from employers and recruiters often endemic. Over 1 million people aged 50+ across the UK want to work but are not currently employed.

The panel will feature David D'Souza, Director of Profession at CIPD; Lucy Standing, Co-founder of Brave Starts; and Bruno Misseeuw, CIO of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners.

Note: this event will take place at RSA House and will be live streamed online - please ensure to register for the correct ticket type to avoid disappointment
