March 22, 2009 | By Kim Walker

AARP has just issued it’s ‘Call for entries’ for the 2009 AARP International Innovative Employer Awards, which are intended to recognize employers that have demonstrated innovative workforce or human-resources practices that address issues relevant to the age-50+ workforce. Apply online by April 24, 2009.

The award intro makes interesting reading:

AARPAt a time when the percentage of workers age 25 to 44 is declining,older adults are a more important component of the global workforce than ever before–a fact that select employers are recognizing and implementing policies to address. By recognizing employers around the world that have demonstrated innovative efforts to address issues relevant to older workers, AARP encourages all employers to create a mutually beneficial work environment that values the potential of these workers and the workforce as a whole.

* Recruitment;
* Training and Lifelong Learning;
* Career Development;
* Flexible Work Arrangements;
