Embracing Diversity in the Future of Work
Description
In today's episode, we talk about generational gaps in the workplace.
I’m here to help you navigate the tricky terrain of generational differences, age-related biases, and the jarring shift young people encounter when transferring from education to the world of work.
Drawing on my decade-long experience in human resources and organizational development, I challenge the common misconceptions about different age groups in the workforce. Together, we debunk the myths and explore the realities of our rapidly changing workforce.
Our conversation further unravels the complexities of our diverse workforce, spotlighting the rise of racial and ethnic minorities, and the increasing number of foreign-born workers in non-standard work arrangements. We discuss their unique challenges – from the instability of their employment to impacts on safety, health, and well-being.
Moreover, we address the growing presence of adults identifying as LGBTQ+ in the workforce, the hurdles working mothers face, and the issues younger workers confront.
We emphasize acknowledging and addressing institutional biases to create an inclusive and supportive work environment for all. Now is the time to make meaningful changes.
I hope you enjoy our conversation.
If something you heard today brought a smile to your face or a spark to your heart, and you’d like to connect with me, here are a few ways you can do that.
One is my newsletter, it’s where I put most of my time and energy when I’m not working with clients or on this podcast. Sorry social media! It’s a mix of real life stories, tips and tricks and of course updates on what’s happening with the podcast. Whenever something is going on with me or in my business, it always comes out there first.
Another resource that I have for you is my Guide to Doing Work Differently. The guide takes you through four inquiries into how you can build a more sustainable and equitable work environment for yourself and your team. It's a great place to start.
