scope:

This document provides guidelines to achieve an age-inclusive workforce which has the potential of adding value for organizations, workers, communities and other stakeholders. The document enables organizations and other stakeholders to develop, implement, maintain and support an age-inclusive workforce. It provides opportunities for older workers, working internal or external to the organization, to be productive.

This document applies to all organizations regardless of type or size, and to all work arrangements and all forms of relationships between organizations and workers.

It is recognized that while organizations need to be inclusive of all workers regardless of age, this guideline focuses specifically on older workers. It does not imply that younger workers should be excluded. Organizations can tailor these guidelines according to their own role and specific context.
