There are a number of signs to watch out for as a way of preventing age discrimination in your workplace.
Most age discrimination goes unreported, making it more difficult to eliminate. Inclusive and diverse employers should be welcoming and supportive of workers of all ages. Signs suggestive of age discrimination at work include:
Hearing age-related comments or insults;
Recruitment managers developing a pattern of hiring only younger employees;
Older employees being overlook for challenging assignments or tasks;
Isolating and excluding older workers; and
Older workers facing unfair discipline or harsher criticism
