This week, I will be sharing the shocking results of a survey published by 55 Work Redefined. The report set out to look at the impact of ageism on individuals in the workforce and showed that the relationship between the over-fifties and work is broken.

Now, it will come as no surprise to most of you here, that ageism in the workplace and in any environment really winds me up. I'm a believer in positive ageing, in living our best lives whatever age we are. So, as an ex-HR Leadership Development person and having spent 30-plus years in large Fortune 500 companies, one of my key values is around equality. And of course, as I've got older, the value around ageism has become even more important because now that I'm in my early sixties, it is really, really key to me that I demonstrate and role model how wonderful it is to be at this age and to be able to do all the things that I can do.
