Understand why we need age-friendly, multigenerational workplaces and how to start building them now. 

We are experiencing a demographic shift: birth rates are down and people are living longer. It is increasingly common to have multiple generations in the workplace. Companies who fail to adjust will be at a competitive disadvantage.   Yet, even as we face talent shortages, the pool of older workers is underutilized because of misperceptions and bias. Multigenerational workplaces should be part of your strategy to build a more productive and stable workforce.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand ageism and its negative impact on the workplace.
