Increasing the value of age: guidance in employers’ age management strategies

Best practices in organisations should be stimulated:
(a) a lifelong approach needs to be promoted, aiming at preventive age
management for workers of all age groups and guidance embedded in
organisation work processes;
(b) quality of provision must be stepped up: those providing guidance need to
be trained; practitioner toolkits could offer guidelines on different guidance
tools and methodologies;
(c) more attention needs to be paid to developing career management skills
(CMS) on top of the focus on job-specific skills;
(d) an evidence base should be created to support continuing efforts and show
the positive effects on organisations and people;
(e) older worker needs to be empowered by demand side funding instruments
(such as guidance vouchers) so they can decide themselves which offer to
take.
