For more than a decade, the Transamerica Institute and the Global Coalition on Aging have been conducting research on ways to inspire age-friendliness, promote a multigenerational workforce, and encourage age-inclusivity. In the Harvard Business Review, Catherine Collinson and Michael Hodin report on that research, and they encourage organizations to implement these five practices to become an age-friendly employer:

1. Cultivate lifelong learning;

2. Offer flexible work arrangements;

3. Support caregiving employees;

4. Facilitate longer working lives by offering flexible retirement; and

5. Offer comprehensive health, welfare, and retirement benefits.
