Age at Work
Age Cymru wants to encourage and support businesses to build age-friendly workplaces where older employees can thrive. We completed a five year partnership with Business in the Community (Cymru) to support employers through the Age at Work programme, funded by the National Lottery Community Fund. The programme was completed in July 2024.

Mid-Career Review Webinars
More than 50% of us haven’t thought much about our hopes or ambitions for life after 60. Yet a high sense of control over this life transition results in better outcomes once in retirement.
Business in the Community’s Mid-Career Review Webinars offered an opportunity for people you to reflect and consider inter-linked areas of your life and start planning for a positive future. These free webinars provided an overview of four keys areas: job/career, health and wellbeing, finance and work-life balance to help you feel more confident and informed about choices you may want to make. The webinars were part of the Age at Work programme, funded by the National Lottery Community Fund for the over 50s in employment or actively seeking employment.
Benefits of attending a Mid-Career Review Webinar include:
- Opportunity to reflect and consider wants and needs for the future
- Enhanced confidence to focus on plans and make changes
- More informed on where to seek further guidance on relevant topics
- Increased resilience to deal with personal and professional challenges
- Help to improve health and wellbeing.
Age-Inclusive Business Review
There are many benefits of an age diverse and inclusive workplace. We encouraged employers to complete this FREE, online, self-assessment tool to help identify gaps and highlight strengths in relation to being an age-inclusive and age-friendly employer.
The questions in the Review were usually completed by an HR or Diversity and Inclusion representative in the organisation. Following completion, participants received bespoke recommendations report for their organisation.
By developing an effective age action plan, your organisation and its workforce can benefit from a better work-life balance, increased retention, enhanced staff engagement and more satisfied and productive workers.
