As part of our ongoing commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB) and our wider Social Value programme, we provide quarterly DEIB webinar training for all PSR team members, focusing on key topics that empower our teams to better support individuals at every stage of the recruitment journey—from application to onboarding.

Our latest session, “Rethinking Over-55s – Why does age inclusion matter”, led by Sharon Bagshaw and joined by two inspiring changemakers, Lyndsey Simpson, Founder & CEO of 55Redefined and AMS Alliance Partner, and Eleanor Mills, Founder of NOON, the session was part of the AMS DEIB Week and offered insights and practical tips.

With increasing life expectancy and declining birth rates, organisations are facing a critical turning point: the talent pipeline is shrinking, and the over-50 workforce is growing fast. Age inclusion isn’t a “nice-to-have”, it’s a strategic must have.

AMS proudly announced the global RPO partnership with 55/Redefined, the leading platform dedicated to transforming opportunities for the over-50s workforce. From reshaping hiring pipelines to embedding sustainable workforce solutions, this collaboration will drive real change at a global scale.

With the global 60+ population expected to double by 2050 (WHO), age-inclusive hiring is no longer optional — it is essential for building resilient and future-ready talent strategies.

PSR, as an AMS managed framework, will be working with 55/Redefined as we strive to champion multi-generational workforce inclusion and support our public sector customers in the attraction, engagement, and retention of talent at every career stage.
