WALTHAM, Mass., March 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Age-Friendly Institute announced the addition of 50 employers to its Certified Age-Friendly Employer (CAFE) program. The recent additions include organizations from all major sectors of the economy, including the public sector. The State of Maine became the second state in the United States, after the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, to be designated as age-friendly.

The Certified Age-Friendly Employer (CAFE) Program, developed by a team of analysts and professionals with specializations in compensation, benefits and HR, began establishing best practices for an age-friendly employer in 2006. Older adults too frequently find their age negatively affects their chances of finding or keeping a job. With the CAFE program, now international in scope, they know whose doors to knock on first when it comes to finding employment. To read the rest of the press release, click here.
