Joining the EFA
2006 is a critical year for employers as age discrimination laws are being introduced for the first time. The Employers Forum on Age (EFA) will help organisations prepare for legislation and enable employers to gain advantage from the business benefits of age diversity.

Why should an organisation join the EFA?
The EFA delivers expert advice, practical tools and support in preparing for legislation. We will help organisations tackle age discrimination and provide access to a strong network of leading employers willing to share their experiences in successfully achieving an age friendly working environment.
