Why Display Your Certification?

Recruiting

Because you appeal to people over 50, more qualified candidates will apply to your jobs. Employers experience an application rate lift when the seal is displayed on job postings of up to 20%.

Retention

Displaying the seal in employee communications shows current employees that your management values workers over age 50.

Brand Marketing

Employing people over 50 is an important component of your diversity initiatives, and displaying the seal reinforces your company’s commitment to the senior population for employees and customers.

Certified Age-Friendly Employer Plaque

Certified Age-Friendly Employers can now proudly display their commitment to age inclusivity in the workplace with a customized plaque. These plaques not only serve as a badge of honor but also signify a dedication to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment. By prominently showcasing this recognition, employers can attract top talent and demonstrate their commitment to age diversity and inclusion.
