Neurodiversity, Works!

More than ever before the workforce consists of so many different generations than ever before as people live and work longer. Alongside that, HR has a huge task of ensuring that age discrimination and ageism is not prevalent in an organisation and in the UK this obligation is by law. On top of that, HR hold a responsibility to ensure that they create a people strategy and employee experience that attracts and retains talent across that broad demography. Adding in the challenges associated with the ‘Gen Z’ers and the fact the British government is urging that over-50s should ‘get off the golf course’ and return to work to help the UK tackle its labour shortage. Workforce demography is throwing all sorts of challenges at the HR/People Profession. But fear not, Hosting HR and our expert panel are here to help! Questions pitched such as… • The WHO report that 1 in 2 people are ageist against older people, what can HR do to combat ageism in the workplace? • Are demographic 'groups' (baby-boomers, Millennials, Gen Z etc) useful for HR, or do they inadvertently fuel ageism? • Are today’s young people (Gen Z’ers) the most challenging demographic group for businesses to attract and then retain? Panel: Lisa Haggar - Highly influential HR leader who has worked across numerous industries & ownership models. Popular with so many for her straight-talking, outspoken, no BS style. Lisa has been featured in countless publications, podcasts and speaking events. Lisa recently conducted a research project on young people with some interesting outcomes.

Lucy is a Chartered Business Psychologist and her own mission in how to help those over 45 best utilise their time in the world of work.
