SHRM Ageism Report 2020
For the first time, organizations are facing a new kind of workforce where five generations are working together, side-by-side: Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Baby Boomers, and Traditionalists.
To better understand workplace ageism and the U.S. worker experience, SHRM surveyed thousands of American workers: individual contributors, managers, C-suite executives, and HR professionals across all five generations to illuminate the unique age-related experiences, attitudes, and expectations of those who make up the multi-generational workforce. This research uncovered revelatory answers to questions like:
Who's experiencing ageism in this multi-generational workforce?
What's the impact – on workers and the organizational bottom line?
Why is it occurring?
And what can organizations do about it?
Here's why organizations need to get serious about age-inclusive workplaces now and why age should be an essential part of any successful organization's business strategy.
