“If you don’t have an age strategy, you don’t have a growth strategy,” says Lyndsey Simpson, chief executive and founder of British advocacy group 55/Redefined. However, many employees – from those nearing retirement to recent graduates – report prevalent ageism. Forward-thinking companies are reassessing their recruitment, retention and upskilling programmes to retain employees and help them thrive, regardless of age.

Summary
Advancing the Ageing Workforce | “If you don’t have an age strategy, you don’t have a growth strategy,” says Lyndsey Simpson, chief executive and founder of British advocacy group 55/Redefined. However, many employees – from those nearing retirement to recent graduates – report prevalent ageism. Forward-thinking companies are reassessing their recruitment, retention and upskilling programmes to retain employees and help them thrive, regardless of age. |
Building a Neuroinclusive Culture | Forward-thinking companies are switching the conversation on neurodivergence at work from surviving to thriving. To ensure neurodivergent employees can bring their whole selves and skillsets to the workplace, smart businesses are bolstering neurodiversity awareness training, adopting tools to streamline workflows and redesigning offices with neurodiversity in mind. |
Supporting Parents & Caregivers | In the US, it’s estimated that 73% of employees have some caregiving responsibilities, whether to a child, parent or other relative (Guardian, 2023). Employees are pushing companies to offer policies that recognise the importance – alongside the physical and emotional toll – of providing care. This encompasses everything from leave to hybrid co-working/childcare spaces. |
