For our latest Trowers Tuesdays maximising inclusivity month, Rebecca McKay and Imogen Reseigh discuss age discrimination and Covid-19.

Employers will need to make sure their workplace pension and wider benefits remain fit for purpose in the wake of the changes.
The Government has announced a number of initiatives aimed at supporting younger people, such as traineeships and work placements for 16 - 24 year olds and incentives to boost the hiring of apprentices. Your workplace will become increasingly diverse and there are challenges associated with managing a workforce of those in Generation Z to Baby Boomers.
