TrainingBriefs® She’s Just Too Old!

5 Minutes Level: Foundational

Having a diverse workplace is very important. But until we are inclusive – meaning that we truly include and respect others, we are wasting an opportunity to leverage the power of that diversity. We can make assumptions, and stereotypes, about people based on their age, like younger people will be much better at embracing and using technology when compared to those that are older. But it’s important to remember that assumptions like this can have a real-life impact on our work teams.

Description

Having a diverse workplace is very important. But until we are inclusive – meaning that we truly include and respect others, we are wasting an opportunity to leverage the power of that diversity. We can make assumptions, and stereotypes, about people based on their age, like younger people will be much better at embracing and using technology when compared to those that are older. But it’s important to remember that assumptions like this can have a real-life impact on our work teams.

Unfortunately, age-based stereotypes are all too common in the workplace today. And, unless people challenge these comments, the behavior will continue. Stereotypes about every generation exist in the workplace and they hurt our teams. We lose out on good ideas because people don’t feel valued and respected and that doesn’t help anyone.
