Recruit, Retain & Reap the Rewards: Why Age Diversity Matters
Recruit, Retain & Reap the Rewards: Why Age Diversity Matters
83% of business leaders say multigenerational workforces are key to their growth and long-term success but Ageism inhibits Age Diversity in the workplace. Therefore we are setting ourselves up to fail, as leaders, as businesses and as a society.
This training sets out to avoid this disastrous scenario.
In particular, this session will:
- Set the scene – so that we can understand the competitive environment and the demographic landscape
- Enhance our knowledge – so that we can become longevity literate
- Shift our mindset – so that both embrace the Zoomers (Gen Z : the newest generation in the workplace) and recognise the benefits of hiring experienced talent
- Challenge our biases – so that can catch, call and change our behaviour and encourage others to do the same
- Set ourselves up for success - ‘If you don’t have an age strategy; you don’t have a growth strategy’.
