Ep 134 Winning the Battle Against Age Discrimination in the Workplace
On episode 134 Maureen Wiley Clough joins me for an eye-opening conversation about the reality of age discrimination in the workplace. Maureen was called a "dino" in the workplace at age 37. This was a wake-up call for Maureen.
Here are 3 key discussion points from our conversation:
1️⃣ Age diversity in the workplace contributes to innovation and better outcomes. A wide range of ages and experiences brings different perspectives and ideas to the table. It's an economic imperative for companies to embrace age diversity and create an inclusive environment.
2️⃣ The tech industry in particular, along with the corporate world, has a bias towards youth. Many young startups tend to hire and surround themselves with a predominantly young workforce. This devalues the experience and wisdom that older employees can bring. Companies should actively seek to include older workers and benefit from their wealth of knowledge.
3️⃣ Awareness is the first step towards change. By openly discussing age bias and discrimination, we can create a supportive community for those who have experienced it and work towards finding solutions. Let's celebrate getting older, challenge ageism, and improve the representation of all age groups in the tech industry and beyond.
Studies mentioned by Maureen.
