As a personnel manager, when explaining this policy to employees who exceed the age limit, you need to take into account respect, transparency and empathy, while avoiding legal risks. The following are step-by-step communication suggestions： --- ### **1. Take the company's strategy and business needs as the entry point** **Avoid direct mention of age**, and instead link training to specific business goals**or job requirements**. For example： > "This training is aimed at the core positions of the **Emerging Technology X Project**. Due to the tight project cycle and extremely fast technology iteration, participants need to devote themselves to learning and adaptation in a short period of time. The company currently prioritizes the concentration of resources in the team directly involved in the project to ensure the efficiency of technology implementation. ” **Emphasize objectivity**： > "The allocation of training resources is based on current business priorities and job adaptability, not personal abilities. When other projects start in the future, we will dynamically adjust the training plan according to demand. ” --- ### **2. Recognize the value of old employees and provide alternative support** **Affirm contributions and avoid a “one size fits all” sense of negation**： > "Your advantages in industry experience, customer insight, and teamwork are important assets for the company. We plan to launch a **Cross-departmental knowledge sharing meeting/management ability improvement course** in the future. At that time, we will give priority to inviting you to participate to help the team pass on experience. ” **Provide other growth paths**： > If conditions permit, the ** Internal mentor system**, ** Industry summit participation qualification** or ** Management training** can be opened up, so that old employees can feel the opportunities for sustainable development. --- ### **3. Be transparent and reserve flexible communication space** **Be honest with resource constraints and avoid antagonistic emotions**： > "At present, the training budget and tutor resources are limited, and the company needs to give priority to the promotion of core projects. However, we will continue to pay attention to the growth needs of all employees and expand our coverage when resources permit. ” **Open feedback channels**： > "If you are interested in learning in a specific field, please feel free to communicate with me. We can explore how to support your goals in other ways, such as recommending online courses or coordinating cross-departmental exchanges. ” --- ### **4. Legal and ethical risk warning (for internal reference)** **Basis for recommended adjustment of policy**： Age restrictions may involve **The risk of employment discrimination**. It is recommended to change the training qualification to be linked to **Job responsibilities, project requirements or performance appraisal** (for example: “Employees within 3 years of entry” or “technical post rank below P5”), which not only avoids legal issues, but also is more in line with the principle of fairness. --- ###**Example communication skills** > "Thank you for your attention to the company's talent training. This training is mainly aimed at the core technology of the X project. Due to the tight project cycle, we have given priority to covering the teams directly involved in the project. Your experience and stability have always been the pillars of the team. We plan to organize an industry trend analysis seminar in the next quarter, when you are very much needed to share your insights. In addition, if you have personal learning needs, we can coordinate resource support, and you are welcome to communicate at any time. ” --- Through the above strategies, it can not only convey the rationality of the policy, but also maintain employee morale and company image. The key is to transform “age” into “business needs”, while providing alternative value points so that every employee feels valued.
