Workplace ageism is a pervasive issue in the U.S. According to an AARP survey from 2021, 78 percent of workers between the ages of 40 and 65 say they’ve seen or experienced age discrimination at work. So, what strategies can employers and employees use to combat ageism?
On today’s show, LinkedIn News Editor Andrew Seaman speaks with Ashton Applewhite, an anti-ageism advocate and the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism. They discuss what companies and hiring managers can do to fight age bias during the hiring process, and what employees can do to support older colleagues. Ashton also explains why deepening our understanding of ageism is so important, and how the same tools used to combat other forms of prejudice can be applied in the case of ageism.
