"Age is something that doesn't matter unless you're a cheese... (Billie Burke)
Does age matter where you work? Is everyone treated fairly? Is your diversity policy being implemented effectively?
Both young and old can be discriminated against because of their age. But legislation now makes it unlawful to do so directly or indirectly. And employing people of all ages makes good business sense.
