The Employers Forum on Age (EFA) is the UK's leading authority on age.

Founded in 1996 the EFA is an independent network of leading employers who recognise the value of an age diverse workforce. In addition to supporting employers, the EFA influences Government, business and trade unions, campaigning for real practical change.

• Represents the views of UK employers
• Takes a practical approach to achieving equality
• Challenges the status quo by presenting real alternatives
• Highlights the pros and cons of new employment laws
• Campaigns against age discrimination

Core members include B&Q, Barclays, British Airways, BT, Cabinet Office, Cadbury Schweppes, Centrica, Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development, Co-operative Group, Craegmoor Healthcare, Department of Work & Pensions, Department for Transport, GlaxoSmithKline, HBOS, HSBC, Manpower, Marks & Spencer, Procter & Gamble, Nationwide, Royal Bank of Scotland Group, Royal Mail, Sainsbury's, Shell and Transport for London.
