It’s good to see that the Institute of Hospitality is actively promoting age diversity in the workplace. It’s a sector which for a number of reasons, not least the flexibility of hours and jobs on offer, has much to offer older workers.
The organisation has published a 50-page document – The case for recruiting and retaining older workers: a business imperative for the Hospitality sector – produced by Capita Consulting on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.
The knowledge pack is designed for hospitality sector stakeholders to understand and explain the benefits of older (50+) worker recruitment and retention. The document presents the business rationale for continuing to promote and support ongoing activity on the older worker agenda.
