Via signs up to Age-Friendly Employer Pledge

We’re delighted and proud to announce that Via has signed the Age-Friendly Employer Pledge, a nationwide programme run by the Centre for Ageing Better.

By signing the pledge, we’re showing our commitment to older workers and making our workplace age-friendly. This means we’re taking action to improve our recruitment, retention and development of workers aged 50 and over.

Being a part of the pledge means we draw on a wider pool of applicants for each job. It means older workers can continue to thrive and contribute in our organisation. And it means we can benefit from the innovation and productivity boost that multigenerational workforces bring.

Marina Deeny, Director of People at Via said: “We are proud to be part of this age-friendly movement. We are keen to reduce bias and discrimination in our recruitment and to retain our talented people. We strive to make aging better for people who use our services and those that work alongside them.”
