The Question of Ageism: Valuing Experience in the Workplace
In today's episode, we continue our coverage of the webinar series of the 2025 International Day Against Harassment and for Inclusion in the World of Work, an event organised by Rezalliance in partnership with FER Geneva, Narratives of Purpose, and Strukturelle.
This second conversation addresses the intersections of gender, ageism, and workplace dynamics, highlighting the challenges faced by older women in particular.
The speaker, Bonnie Low-Kramen, discusses the dual-edged sword of institutional knowledge held by seasoned professionals and the ageist biases that often lead to their dismissal in favour of younger, less experienced employees.
The discussion underscores the necessity of ongoing training and development for all employees, regardless of age, to ensure that organisations remain competitive in an ever-evolving technological landscape. Bonnie insists that a commitment to training and inclusivity not only benefits individual employees but also enhances overall organisational performance.
