Getting older is a tricky double-edged sword, especially in the workplace. While being tenured is proof that we’ve solidified our expertise through experience, there is also the looming fear of aging out of our jobs. But now more than ever, the workplace calls for experienced leadership.

In this solo episode, our host Kathi Sharpe-Ross delves into the growing need for Reinvention in the current hybrid workspace. Listen as Kathi explains how embracing the era of “Aging In,” an expression she has coined, opens up endless opportunities for growth in companies.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

[0:58] The Process of Reinvention in the Hybrid Workplace

More companies, brands, and agencies are creating opportunities to work in a hybrid environment. With all the complexities involved in this process, effective leadership is fundamental. It calls for experienced leaders with years of exposure to a multitude of management to step up.

[02:19] The Impact of “Aging In” in the Hybrid Setup

“Aging in” is the polar opposite of the fear of getting older and getting aged out of a company. There has been no better time in history to respect and consider the value older people offer in the workforce.

Remote and hybrid companies need this “adult supervision”. As older employees have been in the workforce longer, they have greater skillsets to help navigate working in a hybrid setup.

More and more companies are requiring senior leadership roles to ensure everything is cohesively running on track. In fact, the labor force of people aged 75 years and older is projected to grow by 96.5% over the next decade. We’re now in the era of aging in.
