SAN FRANCISCO, June 9, 2020, /PRNewswire/ — GetSetUp has reaffirmed its commitment to an age-diverse workforce by signing AARP’s employer pledge. This pledge recognizes the value of experienced workers and the importance of a multigenerational workforce. Employers who sign the AARP Employer Pledge understand that hiring across diverse age groups brings a strong talent pipeline, supports business continuity, and addresses labor shortages by tapping into a wealth of knowledge.
In today’s job market, where the need for talent is ever-growing, it makes sound business sense to hire experienced workers. As shown by AARP's research, older workers bring invaluable skills and perspectives to the workplace.
The GetSetUp team, though spread across the globe, connects virtually to share best practices and foster continual growth. This approach ensures that their Guides, who are often over 50, are well-equipped to lead classes that empower learners and help them feel more connected and engaged. Co-Founder Lawrence Kosick emphasizes the importance of this initiative: “Garnishing the wisdom of our aging generation is how we empower not just our company but Americans in general. Those over 50 have a wealth of knowledge and talent, plus they will be 25% of the U.S. population in the next 20 years. GetSetUp provides economic opportunities for our Guides to do meaningful work and give back to their peer community through classes that help learners feel more connected, empowered, and engaged.”
This commitment to hiring experienced workers directly benefits learners on the platform. Guides bring a depth of experience that enriches the learning experience, offering classes that are not only informative but also foster social connections and personal growth. This helps learners stay active and engaged, enhancing their quality of life.
In alignment with this pledge, GetSetUp has launched the GetSetUp Marketplace, where individuals over the age of 50 who are passionate about teaching can apply to become online Guides. The platform provides training to help these Guides excel in their roles, giving them the opportunity to share their skills with over 20,000 members each month. This initiative not only supports the passion economy but also ensures that learners benefit from the diverse talents and experiences of their Guides.
AARP Vice President for Financial Resilience Susan Weinstock expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “We’re thrilled that GetSetUp has signed AARP’s employer pledge. We know that employees and employers succeed when they remain committed in words and in action to hiring and maintaining an age-diverse workforce.”
The AARP pledge, which GetSetUp has embraced, affirms a commitment to equal opportunity for all workers, regardless of age. It emphasizes the importance of considering all applicants equally and recognizing the value of experienced workers. This approach not only creates economic opportunities for those over 50 but also enriches the learning experience for the entire GetSetUp community.
AARP’s Job Board and other employer resources connect 50+ job seekers with employers like GetSetUp and hundreds of others who understand the value of experience. By fostering an age-diverse workforce, GetSetUp not only supports economic opportunities for Guides but also enhances the overall learning environment for its members.
