LOS ANGELES – In a groundbreaking report, WorkingNation and Scripps News have dispelled ageist stereotypes by highlighting the crucial role age diversity plays in driving innovation and success in the workplace.

The comprehensive study, part of the Age Inclusion Series, reveals that incorporating workers of all ages can bring unique skills, perspectives, and experiences, ultimately benefiting organizations and the broader economy.

Key Findings:

• 75% of respondents believe age diversity is essential for a company’s growth and success
• 62% of older workers (50+) report being more productive than younger colleagues due to their accumulated knowledge and experience
• 55% of younger workers (18-39) value mentorship from older colleagues, citing improved job satisfaction and faster skill acquisition

Breaking the Mold: Breaking Down Barriers

Traditionally, age has been a dominant factor in workplace decisions, with young workers often viewed as more adaptable and flexible, while older workers are seen as less inclined to learn new technologies. However, this outdated thinking has been challenged by the report’s findings.

"Breaking ageist stereotypes is crucial for creating an inclusive and productive work environment," says Michelle Miller, Founder of WorkingNation. "By acknowledging the value of workers across all age ranges, we can harness the collective wisdom, skills, and experiences of our entire workforce."

Impact on Business and Economy

The study’s conclusions are set to reshape the way businesses approach diversity, equity, and inclusion. By recognizing the importance of age diversity, companies can:

• Boost innovation through collaboration between workers of different ages
• Enhance job satisfaction and retention by providing mentorship opportunities
• Access a wider talent pool, reducing the recruitment and training costs associated with age-segregated teams

What You Can Do
