Speakers
How can workplaces effectively cultivate an environment that is inclusive and equitable for employees of all ages? This webinar will examine questions surrounding mature employees in the workplace, covering topics such as accommodation and discrimination, the duty to inquire, retirement, and benefit plans.
In particular, speakers will address:
- When and how should employers approach employees whose performance may be impacted by age-related disabilities, such as early-stage dementia, hearing loss, or mobility issues? Are employers required to modify duties or reduce work performance standards in these cases?
- What types of alternative work arrangements can be offered to employees nearing retirement?
- Is it discriminatory to:
- Deny promotions to older workers based on the assumption that they may retire soon;
- Provide flexible work arrangements to older workers without offering the same options to younger workers;
- Suggest retirement to employees;
- Terminate employee benefits at age sixty-five;
- Specify a retirement age in collective agreements; or
- Implement age-based reductions in benefits associated with retirement?
- Must retiree resource pools be negotiated in a collective agreement in order to be offered to retiring employees?
- What kinds of programs best facilitate mentorship and knowledge transfer?
