Policy makers and U.S. labor researchers have addressed age discrimination against older employees in the past. Nevertheless, despite efforts such as the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) of 1967, age discrimination remains a social and organizational problem. Age discrimination or ageism through stereotyping, bias, cultural and social attitudes, and public policies have elevated age discrimination charges against employers and have been steadily increasing since 1993. Since the passage of the ADEA, older employees continue to have disproportionate problems when compared to workers of other ages. Human resources (HR) policies and procedures have a profound effect on the employability of older workers. Using ageism and learning theory, the purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the experiences and views regarding the employability of older workers by interviewing a population of 25 HR professionals in Washington State. The research investigated how business leaders might incorporate HR policies that promote best practices toward employing and engaging older workers while increasing sustainability. The data were analyzed with participant responses coded from general to specific with some of the common themes being that older workers provide knowledge and wisdom, younger workers are better suited for working more physical and technical jobs, and older workers need training in computers and technology. The study sought to affect positive social change for academia and businesses that work with older individuals by providing an understanding of how older workers can succeed in their working environment and communities and how they can address their needs and enhance their abilities.
