ISO/TC 314 - Ageing societies

This document provides requirements and guidelines to achieve an age-inclusive workforce, which has the potential of adding value for organizations, workers, communities and other stakeholders. This document enables organizations and other stakeholders to develop, implement, maintain and support an age-inclusive workforce. It provides opportunities for older workers, working internal or external to the organization, to be productive. This document is applicable to all organizations regardless of type or size, and to all work arrangements and all forms of relationships between organizations and workers. While organizations need to be inclusive of all workers regardless of age, these requirements and guidelines focus specifically on older workers. NOTE It does not imply that younger workers are excluded. Organizations can tailor these requirements and guidelines according to their own role and specific context.

This document provides a framework for dementia-inclusive communities, including principles and the considerations of inclusion, quality of life, built environments, special needs groups, and stakeholder engagement. It also provides guidance on how to systematically leverage, improve, and interconnect their existing assets and structures and transform efficiently into a dementia-inclusive community. This document does not provide any clinical standards.

This document specifies requirements and provides guidelines for an organizational program for working carers providing care to: — adult care recipients (e.g. adults with cognitive, sensory, physical, and invisible disabilities, adults with chronic or episodic conditions and older dependents); — long-term childcare recipients (e.g. due to chronic illness or permanent cognitive, sensory or physical disability or injury). This document is applicable to any organization, regardless of size, sector or community setting (i.e. urban, rural or remote). This document can be used in conjunction with an organization’s management systems, human resource programs, and/or equity, diversity and inclusion programs, or on its own in the absence of a formal workplace program to support working carers.
