50WISE

We talk a lot about #diversity — but one dimension still flies under the radar: age. Older professionals are powering the #futureofwork. Too often, outdated assumptions about #experiencedworkers shape #hiring and workplace culture. It’s time to challenge those myths with data, stories, and strategies that help employers unlock the full value of aging talent. Join my upcoming free webinar to rethink about age in the workplace as a competitive advantage. If you hire, lead teams, or shape #workplacestrategy — this one’s for you (registration link in the comments) 50WISE The Encore Network HRHotSeat

“According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data the US workforce is aging. Older, experienced professionals are becoming an important part of the U.S. employment equation, so let’s find ways to reduce ageism and increase multigenerational teams.” #ageismawarenessday #olderworkers #multigenerational

Today, on International Day of Older Persons, we celebrate the wisdom, experience, and perspective that come with age. At 50WISE, we believe talent has no expiration date. Older, experienced professionals bring not only deep expertise but also mentorship, resilience, and perspective that organizations need now more than ever. #InternationalDayOfOlderPersons #WisdomAtWork #LifelongValue #Inclusion #olderworkers

#SiliconValley wants to live forever- But doesn’t want to hire anyone over 45. The irony of the longevity movement is impossible to ignore: - Gene editing to reverse aging - Biomarker tracking to optimize lifespan - Billions flowing into anti-aging and longevity startups - Promises that “50 is the new 30” But behind the scenes… Founders over 40 are called “late bloomers.” Workers over 45 are quietly edged out VC funding and recognition? Scarce. Here’s the disconnect: 🔁 We’re trying to extend life, but exclude people for having lived more of it. ⚠️ If your company’s mission is defying age, maybe stop hiring like age is a liability. The numbers say it all: - 56% of U.S. workers over 50 are pushed out before they choose to retire (ProPublica/Urban Institute) - Hiring in tech drops sharply after 40 (Visier) - Founders 50+ are 2.2x more likely to succeed than those in their 30s (MIT) Yet VCs overwhelmingly favor founders under 35 So while Silicon Valley dreams of life extension, it treats career extension like science fiction. What we need isn’t more anti-aging and longevity hype. We need a more ageless mindset that embraces long life as a positive outcome. Wisdom is a feature, not a bug. Experience is not a liability, it’s a competitive advantage. Let’s build a future that values longevity at every stage of life. 👇 If you're over 45 in tech (or any age with thoughts on this), I’d love to hear your experience. #Longevity #Ageism #WorkplaceBias #TechCulture #ProAging #FutureOfWork #Healthspan #AgelessAging #Inclusion #AgeEquity #FoundersOver50 #AgeDiversity

It's time! AGAIN. If you are an older worker or jobseeker, or know someone, please take action NOW. A bipartisan (yes, you read that right) group in Congress has reintroduced the Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act, an important piece of legislation; you can read more about the current effort in this fact sheet. https://lnkd.in/gTaeXAu5 Last year, I wrote about WHY this is so important, and also included instructions for finding out WHO to call or email, and WHAT to say. 👇 https://lnkd.in/gCy7ya-p So, can you take a moment today to do this? And please SHARE and REPOST this post. #POWADA #AgeDiscrimination #OlderAdults
