Age discrimination at work comes in many forms – some more subtle than others. But, in every case, the collective negative impact on older workers’ financial security, retirement security and access to health insurance benefits cannot be overstated. AARP is working with employers across the country to foster more age-inclusive workplaces. Have you ever experienced age discrimination at work? Learn the ways age discrimination can occur and join us in promoting workplaces that value all individuals based on their experience, not just their age: http://spr.ly/6045QcVcZ.

Agreed, in search of my second career, rejection emails received from potential employers contained subtle messages of ageism. There may be a quantifiable link to being 50+ and employers saying “over qualified” or “going in another direction” as common rejection statements. As a member of AARP, I see at least one organization combating ageism. Thank you AARP, for your work on this issue.

Great initiative for promoting age inclusivity in workplaces.

In US, health issues are prevalent among people over 50, with a wide range of chronic conditions impacting their work and quality of life. So make sure what they witnessed is not disease discrimination.
