About the Event
What if the greatest untapped resource in today’s workforce has been there all along? And what does it take to lead through the most significant demographic shift of our time?
Join us for a conversation with Dan Pontefract, award-winning leadership and culture strategist and bestselling author, as he discusses his new book
The Future of Work Is Grey: The Untapped Value of Age in the Workforce
. Pontefract reveals how a massive demographic shift is reshaping the workforce and introduces the concept of “age debt”, the cumulative burden organizations face as populations age and outdated leadership models fail to keep pace. He will explore how leaders can seize the “experience dividend” by reframing age as one of the most powerful and untapped assets in today’s workforce.
