It’s time to break the stereotypical perception of the 55+ generation and focus on the age diversity of candidates and building multi-generational teams. The silver generation has an enormous power that is unjustifiably ignored. And all this is happening in a market suffering from a talent shortage, which will be 1.5 million in Poland in 2-3 years’ time.
The Polish Economic Institute conducted a study, the results of which illustrated the level of ageism in recruitment processes in our native labor market.
A total of 1,260 applications were sent on behalf of fictitious 28- and 52-year-olds. As a result of sending the application, candidates aged 28 received twice as many invitations to an interview, as people over 50.
Polish experts from the 55+ group are still experiencing ageism. How to change this situation?
