The word 'diversity' is now part of the everyday language of companies, which increasingly seek to encourage it: protecting heterogeneity also means accepting encounters and clashes between different identities. Age, with the inevitable generational confrontation, is one of the most sensitive and relevant aspects in an ageing world.
 
Why do we need to talk more about age inclusion? How to balance the needs of young people with those of older people? What best practices are starting to spread in companies?
 
This meeting will provide participants with an opportunity to discuss the sensitive topic of 'ageism' within companies seeking to maintain their attractiveness to younger people, continuing to invest in senior figures and avoiding the negative narrative of ageism.
To do this they will be able to discuss with Christiane Bisanzio, former world-class executive, corporate wellness expert and author of 'The Other 364 Days' (2023); Celia de Anca, specialist on diversity and inclusion issues and Deputy Dean at IE Business School in Madrid.
The speakers will share their reflections on what 'age inclusion' really means within a company, with a focus on the critical issues brought by each generation and possible solutions to make the most of their potential.
 
In particular, participants will learn about:

• the demographic challenge inside and outside the company: how workers are changing and how to ensure intergenerational support
• ways to balance the needs of each age group: how to become attractive and accessible companies
• successful examples of age inclusion: targeting integration in global companies.
