Morgan Hunt has been awarded Age Positive 'Employer Champion' status which demonstrates we are an organisation committed to tackling age discrimination and promoting age diversity. As an Employer Champion our recruitment and employment practices demonstrate a commitment to tackling age discrimination and promoting age equality. Staff shortages are prevalent in many employment sectors and any company worth its salt would be unwise to ignore potential employees just because they may be approaching retirement or who may be younger and deemed less experienced.
Helen Stokes, Managing Director, comments, "This is superb news for Morgan Hunt as we have striven to create a culture that understands and practices age diversity in recruitment, whilst sharing our knowledge throughout our stakeholder groups. It is also significant in light of the recent Employment Equality (Age) Regulations and the importance the public sector places on diversity."
Our application was supported by strong evidence of our commitment to Age Positive practices with examples of innovative procedures and policies on recruitment, training, promotion and flexible retirement.
Age Positive is a Department for Work and Pensions initiative and promotes the benefits of employing a mixed-age workforce that includes older and younger people. Age Positive encourages employers to make decisions about recruitment, training and retention that do not discriminate against someone because of their age.
