Age management
I'm working up a column on "age management," A concept I picked up from TAEN, the Age and Employment Network. I'm not sure what it means but I think it has something to do with finding what TAEN calls "good work for older people."
On the other hand, you could apply the concept to all age groups, matching the right kind of work to to the age group best suited to do it.
One problem with age in the workplace is that attitudes to age change just as we age. George Carlin puts it in a nutshell here. My thanks to Reg Starkey for that link. Reg has campaigned for years to end age-stereotyping in the advertising industry. I think we share the same sense of humour.
There are some other great George Carlin sayings here.
