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.

We all come into and leave this world the same way. How long we get to spend here is a gift and if we are lucky, it is a long time!
Sybll is an entrepreneurial professional who is passionate about improving the living experience of older adults. After 20 years in Human Resources and HR Technology, Sybll semi-retired to care for her ailing father. The time she spent with him revealed a huge gap in the number of people with the skill set and ability to advocate for our aging population. It also uncovered a love for helping others (Enneagram Type 2 with a strong rising 3)! She is a Certified Senior Advisor and has spent the last 12 years in the senior care industry focused on helping people live their lives to the best of their abilities, safely, and with dignity. She has owned and worked with several non-medical homecare companies and as an independent consultant/care manager to families struggling to navigate the challenges of aging. As a volunteer with Changing the Narrative, an organization dedicated to ending ageism, she combines her passion for aging with her lifelong HR experience, to bring attention to, and maybe someday end, ageism and age discrimination in the workplace.
In her free time, Sybll loves spending time with her two daughters and grandson, she travels with her young at heart mother (you have to practice what you preach), fosters older dogs (they are discriminated against too), and enjoys hiking the beautiful Colorado mountains.
