The highly anticipated award ceremony and accompanying forum are scheduled to take place on October 3rd, 2025.
This annual initiative, featured in the latest edition of “JEED News No. 324,” highlights organizations that have implemented innovative and effective strategies to foster an inclusive and supportive environment for their senior employees.

- Encourage broader adoption of senior-friendly policies: The initiative aims to inspire a wider range of businesses to re-evaluate their employment strategies and implement policies that support the continued engagement and development of their senior workforce.
The formal recognition ceremony on October 3rd will provide a platform for the winning companies to share their insights and experiences. This will be followed by a forum where industry leaders, HR professionals, and stakeholders can engage in discussions on key issues related to the aging workforce, best practices in talent management, and strategies for building sustainable intergenerational work environments.
JEED extends its sincere congratulations to all the companies that have been recognized for their dedication to senior worker employment.
