  • Global Intergenerational Week – Age Inclusion in the Workplace

    “In Conversation” series Pt. 6

    Today marks the start of Global Intergenerational Week 2025.

    In just 5 years time, 47% of the working population will be over 50, yet 82% of over 50s don’t hear back from recruiters or hiring firms. So how do we improve age inclusion in the workplace?

    This conversation explores the myths and stereotypes about Gen Zs to Baby Boomers and everyone in between and the benefits of an intergenerational workforce.

    As always, we really enjoyed the conversation with our brilliant panel Chris Bantock of The Agency Adventure, Ian Benjamin of Digital Execs Recruitment and Black Data Professional Network and Sarah Hayford of The Land Collective who shared their expertise and ideas.

  • Well done McKinsey & Company


    McKinsey & Company (like Deloitte and other Big 4 firms), have long been publishing research about the proven business benefits of EDI.

    So surely, ignoring your own research to roll-back initiatives to improve EDI would undermine your findings? Or make you look hypocritical, or stupid?

    What is becoming evident, is just how loudly money talks. Especially federal funding.

    Unlike certain other firms, McKinsey have proved they cannot be bought! Which, in this day and age, appears to be rare.

    Organisations like McKinsey who make data-led decision (especially when based on their own research!), who show integrity, who genuinely appreciate and respect every employee and client will win.

    If your organisation is a “McKinsey in the making”, you can demonstrate, celebrate and shout about your authentic commitment to EDI by becoming accrEDIted©
