This new toolkit for 2023, and builds on age-friendly principles to introduce 3 new tools to minimise age bias in the recruitment process.
The latest phase of GROW, delivered by the Behavioural Insights Team, engaged employers, recruiters and older people to design and test new approaches to reducing age bias in recruitment. This involved creating and critiquing the end-to-end recruitment journey, generating new ideas, turning them into tools and then prototyping them.
These tools were designed and tested by a working group of HR and ED&I (Equality, Diversity & Inclusion) professionals during the second phase of the GROW project.
