Perhaps you’ve felt that your voice isn’t heard by decision-makers and elected officials. Many of us over age 50, including many in Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) communities, who have been or want to be in the workforce have felt this way acutely and persistently. Now, on an important and urgent issue—the experiences of workers age 50+ on the job and when job-seeking—you can be heard. You can help influence Colorado’s policies on older workers in the pre-, current-, and postCOVID eras from the comfort of your home and in a few minutes: just answer a survey. It’s an easy action to take on a complex issue. Older adults in Colorado who were, are, or hope to be in the workforce are encouraged to take the brief survey at https://bit.ly/CTNWorkforceSurvey By gathering feedback from adults age 50+ on the challenges we have encountered in the workforce and when applying for jobs—in addition to noting the strengths we bring to the workplace—the data can be shared with key leaders. Changing the Narrative, a campaign to end ageism, will inform and advise state officials, county decision-makers, nonprofit organizations, and employers who are beginning to re-hire as the state opens up. The goal is to help design and influence policies so as to best include workers age 50+. Responses also will be used to help inform programming designed to assist those experiencing difficulties and
to help people age 50+ gain access to meaningful work that fully uses their talents and abilities. When the unemployment insurance benefits run out on August 1, many more people will be seeking work but needing resources to successfully do so. Changing the Narrative believes that there are many BIPOC adults age 50+ who share characteristics, experiences, and needs with their white counterparts, and have their own perspectives. Questions in the survey range from “Are you looking for work and how long have you been looking?” to "Why are you seeking employment?” as well as questions about ageism in the workplace. All responses will remain anonymous. This survey takes six to eight minutes to complete. At the end of the survey, you will have a chance to enter a drawing for one of five $100 gift cards. If you were, are, or hope to be in the workforce, you’re encouraged to take the brief survey at: https://bit.ly/CTNWorkforceSurvey
