Workplace ageism is a pervasive issue in the U.S. According to an AARP survey from 2021, 78 percent of workers between the ages of 40 and 65 say they’ve seen or experienced age discrimination at work. So, what strategies can employers and employees use to combat ageism?
On today’s show, LinkedIn News Editor Andrew Seaman speaks with Ashton Applewhite, an anti-ageism advocate and the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism. They discuss what companies and hiring managers can do to fight age bias during the hiring process, and what employees can do to support older colleagues. Ashton also explains why deepening our understanding of ageism is so important, and how the same tools used to combat other forms of prejudice can be applied in the case of ageism.

How to Maximize Your Career Potential

Getting older should be something to celebrate: you’ve gained experience, honed a skillset and acquired the wisdom to know where, and when, to apply your energy. Yet, employers and colleagues don’t always see the value of experience. People often buy into ageist myths that punish older employees. As the proportion of workers over age 50 grows, age-based discrimination will become more evident and an urgent problem to address. 
To kick off a series of shows on ageism, LinkedIn News Editor Andrew Seaman sits down with Chip Conley, co-founder and CEO of Modern Elder Academy. MEA is a midlife wisdom school for people navigating life transitions in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. Chip shares his experience working at Airbnb, where he came to be known as the “modern elder.” He also offers advice for rejuvenating your career in midlife and challenges the notion of the “midlife crisis.”
This episode is for anyone contemplating making a career change in midlife and wants support in navigating their next chapter.
