Lead With We
AARP’s Jean Accius On Creating Age-Inclusive Workplaces
Listen on
Episode notes
Diversity, equity and inclusion should be top of mind for any business leader, but we don’t often think about age when it comes to DEI.
In this episode of Lead With We, I’m sharing a conversation with AARP’s Jean Accius, who shared some fascinating research about how businesses benefit from a multigenerational workforce. We talked about why age diversity is a competitive advantage, how businesses can be more inclusive of workers over 50, and what Jean thinks the private sector can learn from nonprofit leadership.
This episode of Lead With We was produced and edited by Goal 17 Media and is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and Spotify. You can also watch episodes on YouTube at WeFirstTV.
