Embracing Multigenerational Teams: ProAge's Mission for Age Inclusivity
Maguire Training are proud to collaborate with and be a Founding Member of ProAge.
In today's fast-paced and ever-evolving work environment, age inclusivity is an essential, yet often overlooked, component of a successful and harmonious workplace. ProAge are a member-driven UK charity focused on age inclusion in the workplace. Through facilitative leadership, they help organisations to create working environments where the skills and experiences of older workers are valued and utilised to leverage the power of multigenerational collaboration, improve profitability, and create stronger, innovative teams.
ProAge works tirelessly to dismantle the age-related barriers that many older workers face, promoting policies and practices that support diversity and inclusivity of age. Age-diverse teams bring a wealth of experience, knowledge, and perspectives that can spur creativity and innovation.
When workers of all ages feel valued and included, they are more likely to be engaged and committed to their roles. This leads to reduced turnover rates and the preservation of institutional knowledge, which can be costly to replace.
Through various initiatives, such as workshops, advocacy campaigns, and partnerships with businesses, ProAge aims to shift societal attitudes and corporate policies towards a more inclusive approach. By highlighting the benefits of age diversity and providing resources to both employers and employees, ProAge is paving the way for a more equitable and dynamic workplace.
“We are living and working in a new world; one where new careers are developing before our eyes. We are also changing jobs more frequently and concepts like ‘a job for life’ are becoming things of the past. At every stage of our life, we need to be ready for new opportunities and challenges. To stay relevant in an ever-changing job market, we need to stay curious, keep our skills up to date, and be open to learning new things. Age-inclusive employers are investing in their employees of all ages to make sure that they can continue to grow and develop. Maguire training has been leading the way for the past two decades in offering the training and development that people need. We are very proud to have them join ProAge as founding members and value the contribution they will make in raising awareness about the importance of learning.”
– Mike Mansfield, CEO, ProAge.
