I asked for two scripts from two staff members: one junior and one seasoned. The junior’s is full of enthusiasm but doesn’t relate back to the business. A stand-alone piece that adds no value. The senior’s language is appropriate for the executive speakers. It’s relevant and requires little rework.
We spend time and effort to attract fresh talent. The millennials. What are we doing to retain and encourage the senior workforce?
We’re chasing the latest technology. The last frontier. Seeing how it can make us work even more efficiently. How to outsmart the competition.
Too often, we forget about the people who actually do the work. Instead of asking, what can we do better…? Why don’t we ask, what can we stop doing?
How about saying no to ageism? Stop believing the myth of the irrelevance of older workforce. The mature workforce brings with them unique and unbeatable perspective. Some call this expertise from decades of experience.
No system can beat out the wisdom of collective experience and expertise. Couple this with fresh perspective from the millennials, we will change the rules. We can change the world.
