Inclusive Workplaces for Senior Workers (INSPIRER)
The Inclusive Workplaces for Senior Workers (INSPIRER) Erasmus+ project aimed to promote inclusive, multigenerational workplace cultures and support the labour market integration of older employees. The project addressed the growing social and economic challenge of an increasingly age-diverse workforce, while recognising that older workers often face age-related stereotypes and barriers resulting from gaps in digital skills.
The project was implemented between 1 November 2020 and 31 December 2022 under Slovak coordination within an international partnership. The consortium brought together organisations from Germany, Greece, Luxembourg, and Hungary, including Trebag Ltd.
The project developed a range of practical tools and training solutions to help organisations create inclusive, age-friendly working environments. Its key outputs included a training programme for company managers and HR professionals, a 360-degree assessment tool, and an intergenerational mentoring model designed to strengthen collaboration across different age groups.
One of the project’s most distinctive features was the application of the reverse mentoring approach, enabling younger and older employees to learn from each other’s knowledge, experience, and skills. This mutual learning model encourages knowledge sharing, improves digital competence, and strengthens intergenerational cooperation.

In the long term, the project contributes to building more inclusive organisational cultures, fostering stronger collaboration between generations, and supporting the active participation of older workers in the labour market.
