Ageism and Generational Diversity

Ageism affects everyone. Children as young as 4 years old become aware of their culture’s age stereotypes. Over time, these stereotypes inform and guide feelings and behaviours and influence society, workplaces and customers. This session will explore how ageism is experienced, the impact that is has on people and the workplace and how it intersects with other forms of discrimination.

Session outline:

  • Understand what ageism and generational diversity means.
  • Explore challenges and barriers faced by people from different age groups.
  • Examples and case studies of how ageism and generational discrimination can show up and impact the world around us.
  • Discuss the different ways in which it influences how we manage our teams and how we support our customers.
  • Awareness of how intersectionality influences the lens we look through.
  • Highlight the responsibility of every delegate, both legal and personal.
  • Lean into uncomfortable conversations about challenging others.
  • Agree practical actions that will continue your learning and begin to change the experience for people of all ages.
