Co-Mentoring Across Generations: Bridging the Age Gap in Organizations with Margaret McDonald

Why be anti-ageism when you can be pro-aging?

In this episode of the "HR Mixtape" podcast, host Shari Simpson welcomes Margaret McDonald, an international speaker and pro-aging advocate, to discuss the critical topic of ageism in the workplace. Margaret, the author of 100 Words on Everyday Ageism, shares her insights on how cultural beliefs about aging can impact employee well being, productivity, and organizational dynamics.

As the workforce becomes increasingly multigenerational, understanding and addressing age-related stereotypes is more important than ever.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Understanding Ageism: Listeners will learn how common language and phrases contribute to ageism and how shifting this narrative can foster a more inclusive workplace.
  2. Pro-Aging Advocacy: Margaret emphasizes the importance of being a pro-aging advocate rather than an anti-ageism advocate, promoting a positive view of aging as a natural and valuable part of life.
  3. Co-Mentorship Strategies: The episode explores the concept of co-mentorship, where employees of different ages can learn from each other, enhancing skills and breaking down generational barriers.
