In this episode of the "HR Mixtape" podcast, host Shari Simpson welcomes Margaret McDonald, an international speaker and pro-aging advocate, to discuss ageism in the workplace. Margaret, the author of "100 Words on Everyday Ageism," shares her insights on how cultural beliefs about aging can impact employee well-being, productivity, and organizational dynamics. As the workforce becomes increasingly multigenerational, understanding and addressing age-related stereotypes is more crucial than ever.
Key Takeaways:
-
Understanding Ageism: Listeners will learn how common language and phrases contribute to ageism and how shifting this narrative can foster a more inclusive workplace.
