Titulo | Seniors for seniors |
Brief | When older people go to buy a mobile device, they sometimes feel blinded by the science spouted by younger vendors. In fact, technology is better explained to seniors...by other seniors. So Vodafone retrained some retirees into a sales force. The recruitment was based only on two criteria: they had to be over 65, and know nothing about technology. The related film sparked a debate about age-ism. |

História | Through this special HR program we recruited, trained, and reconverted pensioners into Vodafone sales force to support older customers and connect them to modern technology in a dignifying and successful way. |
Filosofia | Technology can be better explained to seniors… by other seniors. We developed an HR experimental program to reconvert pensioners into Vodafone sales force. The recruitment was based only on 2 criteria: to be over 65 y.o. and know nothing about modern technologies. We redesigned our training program, using less memorization but learning by play. |
Problema | In Czech Republic pensioners feel useless and deserted. Technology deepens their disconnection. Young vendors use too much jargon and don’t any patience for elders. |
Resultado | Ageism became a public topic, next to feminism and racism. Czech Parliament is supporting the initiative. Nationwide TV coverage |
