ABOUT TOP SIXTY OVER SIXTY

Top Sixty Over Sixty is a niche age diversity consultancy that provides the tools and training to address ageism and promote age diversity.

We drive success by resetting thinking, unlocking potential, and leveraging the talent of all generations.  A social enterprise, Top Sixty advocates for age diversity, equity, and inclusion. 

  • Through coursework, training, and coaching, we show mature adults how to renew and reinvest their knowledge, skills, and experience to reinvent themselves with purpose.
  • We consult businesses and provide training on age diversity, equity, and inclusion, and how best to leverage the talent of a multigenerational workforce.

Created in 2017, Top Sixty Over Sixty focused on older Canadians and encouraged them to reinvent themselves to meet new work and entrepreneurial challenges.

Top Sixty Over Sixty continues to evolve.  It works with progressive businesses and organizations to maximize efficiency, innovation, and prosperity.  We offer practical guidance on how to engage an ageing workforce and create stronger sales opportunities for ageing customer segments.

We do this in four ways:

  • We motivate and re-skill older adults by introducing an entrepreneurial mindset.
  • We help employers transform their multigenerational workforces into innovative, intergenerational teams.
  • We advise businesses on how to attract and retain a diversely aged workforce.
  • We show progressive businesses how to avoid age-bias in their branding, hiring, and communications.

Top Sixty Over Sixty provides original and curated resources of interest to businesses and organisations, as well as individuals.  These include a monthly newsletter, The 360, blogs, and online resources.  Events and workshops are held as programming and demand dictate.
