Hargreaves Lansdown first FTSE-100 firm to become 'age inclusive employer'

Investment firm Hargreaves Lansdown (HL) has been named among Britain’s “age inclusive” employers. According to the Bristol-based firm, it is the first FTSE-100 to receive the accolade from 55/Redefined - a UK organisation that champions anti-age discrimination.

HL said it was recognised for playing a role in changing attitudes and challenging age discrimination. It also said the accreditation would help job seekers identify HL as an "age-friendly business" to work for.

So far, 12 UK companies have become accredited by 55/Redefined - Rethink, Rank, ITV, HL, Slater & Gordon, Motorpoint, Boots, Dentsu, the Workshop, Together Money, Bank of Ireland and Capgemini.
