The Power of Age
In this Keynote we'll explore how to Combat Ageism: Leverage experienced workers' wisdom for innovative, competitive organizations.
Combating ageism is a business imperative in 2025. Experienced workers bring deep industry knowledge, reliability, mentorship capabilities, stability, and emotional intelligence to organizations.
Warning signs of ageism include:
Coded language
Unequal opportunities
Social segregation
Lopsided layoffs
Technology assumptions
Ageism harms businesses through lost productivity, increased turnover costs, legal risks, reduced innovation, and narrowed market understanding.
To leverage experienced workers' wisdom, organizations should implement age-inclusive policies, promote intergenerational mentoring, offer flexible work arrangements, invest in continuous learning, challenge stereotypes, and create an age-diverse culture.
The most successful future organizations will embrace age diversity for competitive advantage.
