Mid-life Career Reviews – a guide for line managers

• Age

This Business in the Community (BITC) toolkit, how to conduct mid-life career reviews – a guide for line managers will help line managers implement and manage a mid-life career review for older workers.

The toolkit, aims to help bring older employees on an equal footing with their younger colleagues.

What is a mid-life career review?

This type of review is not a performance review or an appraisal. It is a broader conversation about work, aspirations and challenges, now and in the future. It is an essential step in understanding the needs, interests and aspirations of older workers; helping to maintain high employee engagement and productivity across all age groups. It can also support the engagement and wellbeing of employees and with the right outcomes, keep them in work and productive for longer.
