Creating Age Diverse Workplaces
New Ideas in Ageing Podcast - S1E2
About the episode
If you’re over 50 - or as some research shows, even over 40 - and looking for work, there’s a good chance you’ve come up against some form of ageism - and it might have shocked you.
Research shows that intergenerational workplaces - those with a mix of ages among the workers - are not only highly effective and productive, but everyone likes them. Why then, aren’t they more common?
In this episode, Dr Catherine Rickwood talks about what makes successful intergenerational workforce and multigenerational teams.
