въведение

IntegrAGE Age Management Toolbox се състои от различни инструменти, които са разделени в четири основни категории. Тези инструменти не са специално предназначени за възрастови групи над 55 години, но могат да бъдат адаптирани в рамките на вътрешна стратегия на компанията за насърчаване на интеграцията на служители над 55 години. В последната глава „Адаптиране в рамките на компанията“ предлагаме предложения как да ги интегрирате в ежедневните процеси на вашата компания.

В рамките на изследване, проведено по проект IntegrAGE, открихме някои общи предизвикателства за Дунавския регион, които бяха категоризирани. Въз основа на това потърсихме инструменти, които биха могли да помогнат на компаниите да се справят с тези проблеми.
