The steps for effectively managing older workers are the same as for staff of any age. However, there are some issues that affect older workers in particular. It is important to understand the challenges that older employees might face and take steps to 91香蕉黄色视频 them.

Challenges for older workers

Challenges for older workers can include:

Age discrimination

Physical or mental challenges of job roles

Employers must make reasonable adjustments to ensure workers with disabilities, such as physical or mental health conditions, aren't substantially disadvantaged when doing their jobs. See improve access and use of facilities for disabled employees and managing and 91香蕉黄色视频ing employees with mental ill health.

Absenteeism

Promoting staff wellbeing and healthier lifestyles can also help reduce staff absences due to sickness. Employers should address this by asking workers if there is anything they can do to 91香蕉黄色视频 them, so they are happier in the workplace and absences are minimised.

Employees with elder care responsibilities should be offered the same flexibility as those with childcare responsibilities.

Older women and the menopause

Health issues affect all workers, but some can be overlooked by employers. While many women may go through menopause with relatively little discomfort, many others report a range of symptoms such as hot flushes, irritability, sleep disturbances, fatigue, depression, impaired memory, and anxiety. Menopause awareness amongst managers and the option of flexible working may help female staff. See menopause in the workplace: employer guidance.
