We’re delighted to welcome Lucy Standing to the Brace For Impact podcast: psychologist, ageism activist and founder of Brave Starts, a non-profit supporting people in mid and later life to rethink their careers and find jobs they’ll love.
From giving evidence to the OECD and Parliament on our ageing population, to appearing in The Times, the FT, Women’s Hour and Sky News to advocate for older workers’ rights and value,Lucy is a leading voice in the battle against ageism in the workplace.
In this episode, Mary Rose and Lucy take a closer look at the UK’s broken labour market and ask, should number 10 and business leaders be doing more to get people in mid life into new careers? And what is the opportunity missed when experienced professionals aren’t allowed to use their experience to contribute?
We take uncover what happens to productivity and efficiency for businesses and the wider labour market when older workers miss out, common misconceptions about hiring over 50s, hard truths that mid-lifers need to face to take their first steps towards a new career, and why volunteering is such a vital piece of the puzzle.
Lucy recently released her new book,Age Against The Machine: New Rules for Working in an Ageist World.
