Abstract Despite an increasing dependence of the market on older workers, organizations still do not pay enough attention to their (broad) development. In this study, potential factors of age management are explored, specifically with regard to the development of specific and broad competences (employability). The mediating role of employability between an age-related hrm policy, learning climate and learning value of the job and career success is tested for. Argued is for an age management policy which is accessible to all ages, combined with attention to individual differences.
