Thriving in the Second Half of your Life
Ageism is the biggest ism of them all - more common than any other form of discrimination based on gender, gender recognition, sexual preference, race, religion, the lot! It is also illegal and yet rife in the workplace, and in society in general. If the Over 50s were a nation-state, we would be the fifth largest economy in the world and growing the fastest. Yet too many companies take their most valuable and experienced employees for granted and/or patronise their most lucrative customers - those with twice as much money as their other customers combined. It is time for organisations to maximise the benefit from their over 50 people and customers. It is time for those of us who are over 50 to readjust our mindset and thrive in the second half of our life. This is our time to thrive! Based on the book: ‘You: Part Two’ published globally by Hachette.Thriving in the Second Half of your Life
Who is this for?
For senior executives, marketing managers, HR managers and anyone who is either over 50 or planning to be over 50 one day. For HR executives who need to include ageism in their D&I program - the most widespread form of discrimination of them all.
Key Takeaways:
- How to unlock the value of your over 50s people
- How to appeal to your lucrative over 50 customers
- How to thrive in the second half of your life
