The Intergenerational Workplace and Rethinking Age, with Marci Alboher
Listen now
Description
Age doesn't mean what it used to.  The current workplace contains as many as five generations. It's not uncommon to work alongside people who may be the age of your grandparents – or the age of your grandchildren.  It used to be that you would move from being middle-aged to old, but now we have a whole new stage of life called "Middle Adulthood" – the period of life from 50 to 70+ when people are still very much engaged in the workplace and in living.  In this episode, we speak with Marci Alboher, a writer and expert on the intergenerational workplace.  We learn about the idea of "stage not age," examine our preconceptions on what we thought aging would feel like, and look at the various ways that we self-segregate by age, even when it's not good for us.  We also ask a key question:  are you just a one-channel communicator?
