Age discrimination in the workforce

Wednesday, 29 March 2017 - 9:00am to 10:00am

We speak to Prof. Philip Taylor, professor of Human Resources Management at Federation University and Marilyn King, founder of WOW, Willing Older Workers. Prof Taylor has researched issues of ageing for more than 30 years and speaks of his views on both age and youth discrmination and how he believes it occurs more often at recruitment stage rather than in the workplace itself. Marilyn King speaks about the need for employers to implement a mentoring program where mature age and younger workers share jobs.  

Wednesday 9:00am to 10:00am
Urban environment issues, analysing government services, both federal and state and local campaigns.
