Thanks to Board member Zachary Rosenberg for this link... Companies often assume that older workers are less adept at adapting to new technologies. As leaders look to bring new AI tools onboard, many believe that younger workers will be better able to integrate these tools into their work. A recent survey suggests this view may be unfounded. When hiring managers—many of whom held this view—were asked to assess the job performance of the mid-career and older workers whom they already employ, 89% reported that these individuals performed as well if not better than younger peers. Midcareer and older workers offer unique strengths when it comes to working with AI. For companies that want to drive AI adoption, these workers are an essential asset that can’t be overlooked. https://lnkd.in/eSVRhn4U #ageism
