As part of its commitment to providing diverse, inclusive workspaces, ISS in the UK is joining the Age-Friendly Employer Pledge.

The pledge, introduced by the Centre for Ageing Better, helps employers recognises the skills and experience of older workers - many of whom are overlooked even as the UK endures a skilled labour shortage. By signing, ISS commits to maintaining age-positive recruitment, flexible working solutions and a workforce that embraces diversity.

Statistically, an applicant's chances of employment drop significantly after the age of 55. Similarly, more than half of people legible to work stop before state pension age.

Ryan Redman, workplace deployment manager at ISS, said of the pledge: "ISS is on a crucial journey in the UK and Ireland to be the company of belonging, and we want our clients, employees, and communities to see us as a leading light in diversity and inclusion."
