Once you get to a certain age, things may happen to you in the workplace that you attribute to the fact that you’re ‘old.’

According to a survey conducted by RetirementJobs.com, age bias is subtle, but is a fact of life in the workplace. They categorize it as:

• A failure to acknowledge an application or resume
• Early retirement bias
• Training, development and advancement bias
• “Sorry, you’re overqualified”
• Older workers laid off first
• Recruiting practices and recruiter demeanor
• The general corporate culture

I like fresh thinking. What are your suggestions for reducing bias so everyone feels included?
