Age management practices refer to the development and implementation of workplace strategies to support and improve the health and productivity of workers aged 45 years or older. The objective of this study was to analyze the scientific evidence available to support age management practices toward older workers. An integrative review was conducted, with the following databases searched in February 2019: LILACS, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and SCOPUS. Inclusion criteria consisted of original primary studies with full-text availability, published in Portuguese, English or Spanish. Secondary studies were excluded. No restrictions were imposed on publication dates given the paucity of literature on this topic. The final sample consisted of 11 primary studies published between 2006 and 2017, which addressed the following age management practices: workplace health promotion; employment exit and transition to retirement; knowledge transfer, training and lifelong learning; career development; flexible working time practices; and occupational safety and health management. Age management practices are promising tools to promote a work environment that is adequate to the needs of older workers.
