Age-Friendly Business and Employment
We are committed to building Age-Friendly environments, and this includes supporting the local business community in Age-Friendly design. We work with businesses and employers to educate and elevate Age-Friendly practices to address the needs and opportunities of older consumers and workers.
Age-Friendly Businesses
Since 2017, Innovations in Aging Collaborative has partnered with the Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado to offer certification to local Age-Friendly businesses.
This one-of-a-kind certification promotes Age-Friendly business practices and supports Southern Colorado businesses through a review process on their physical environment, staff, marketing, and customer experience.
Age-Friendly Employers
Age-Friendly Employers create work environments that embrace and support individuals of all ages, recognizing and appreciating the value of an age-diverse workforce. Given the complexities of today’s workforce challenges, businesses benefit from HR and hiring practices that are inclusive of the needs and opportunities of aging adults. Benefits of Age-Friendly Employment practices include: industry experience, skills transfer and mentorship, enhanced workforce diversity, improved employee satisfaction and retention
