Event Details

Due to demographic trends, many regions worldwide—including Hong Kong—are experiencing aging populations and increasing age diversity in the workplace. These trends can present challenges for organizations, such as skilled labor shortages, intergenerational conflicts, and difficulties in retaining institutional knowledge. However, age diversity also offers opportunities to capitalize on the complementary strengths of younger and older employees, fostering learning, growth, and enhanced performance.

In this session, our speaker will share research insights from the literature on successful aging and age diversity in the workplace, including findings from his own projects. Julian will also discuss practical implications for effectively managing an aging and age-diverse workforce.
