SUMMARY:Launch of The Guide for Addressing Ageism in the Workplace
DESCRIPTION:We all deserve to be part of a society that respects\, values and celebrates everyone at every age.\nWhilst our workplaces recognise the injustices of racism and sexism\, ageism often flies under the radar.\nOften many people fail to recognise the negative impact it can have on people.\nThe more we speak up when we hear ageist comments\, the more our co-workers will recognise it as a problem and question their language. \nOn Ageism Awareness Day\, Wednesday 9th October from 12.00 – 12.45pm\, The Southern Melbourne Elder Abuse Prevention Network is launching The Guide for Addressing Ageism in the Workplace – a conversation guide to equip you with some responses you can use when encountering ageism in the workplace.
