Age Inclusion Audit
Discover how age-inclusive your workplace really is
Our Age Inclusion Audit is a strategic workplace diagnostic that helps organisations evaluate how inclusive they are for employees of all ages. This age diversity audit highlights strengths, uncovers gaps, and delivers tailored, actionable recommendations to support a truly multigenerational workforce.
The audit includes a review of your organisation's website—focusing on how you present your company culture, diversity and inclusion (DEI) policies, and careers information. It also involves interviews with key team members and analysis of HR data and employee engagement surveys.

-
Identify barriers facing older workers in your organisation
-
Use age-segmented HR data to inform inclusive workplace strategies
-
Enhance employee satisfaction and retention across all age groups
