Tackling Ageism in the Workplace: #HotTopic w/ @JoWeech

Bias, of course, exists in many facets of the recruiting and hiring process.  But how does bias against older candidates come into play? And when odes bias morph into plain-old illegal discrimination?  According to a survey from AARP, nearly 66% of workers age 45 and older have seen or experienced age discrimination on the job.

This week we’ll be chatting with Jo Weech, founder of Exemplary Consultants. Jo is also a speaker and writer on HR topics and her LinkedIn article, posted in July 2018,  garnered 10,000+ views and close to 2,000 comments when she posed the question: “Over 40 and Interviewing? Have these things happened to you?”

Join us for this fast moving conversation when we discuss tips for eliminating bias in recruitment and challenge your thinking about this EEOC “protected class” that seems to be forgotten.
