HR Besties: Ageism with Special Guest and Meeting Crasher Maureen Wiley Clough
HR BESTIES
Intro
This chapter features a humorous guest story from 2020, shedding light on remote work challenges during the COVID pandemic. It explores the awkwardness of corporate happy hours and the surreal experience of job interviews in a virtual world.
Today’s agenda:
- Introducing Maureen Wiley Clough, host of the It Gets Late Early podcast
- Drunk interview
- Cringe corporate speak: culture fit
- Hot topic: ageism in the workplace
- Most people are ageist... it's the only "ism" that can affect everyone
- What sparked Maureen's podcast and focus on ageism?
- HR professionals should feel empowered to discuss ageism in an organization, such as being included in DEIB discussions
- More years can mean more experience and enhanced job performance (...duh!)
- Colorado's Job Application Fairness Act
- Age discrimination from job recruiters and hiring managers. What can members of HR do to point out these biases?
- Intergenerational mentorship can be very beneficial to an organization (and can go both ways)
- Questions/Comments
