Employees of all ages are making different choices in how, where and when they work. For many of us, that means working longer, reinventing ourselves in new careers or industries, while finding purpose in the work that we do.
While employers see these changes and are working to offer more flexible and inclusive workplaces, there is still a strong bias against older workers. Recent AARP research reported that, although 80 percent of employers “support” employees working longer, two-thirds of older Americans have experienced or seen age discrimination in the workplace.
This conversation will spotlight women in leadership who are developing workplace policies and solutions to better manage and benefit from this expanding age-diverse workforce, ensuring the economy doesn't lose the economic benefits of the vast intellectual capital of this segment of the workforce.
