Managing an Aging and Age-Diverse Workforce
Posted on 8 April 2025
hat an incredible journey we embarked on during our recent session on “Managing an Aging and Age-Diverse Workforce”! With over 20 passionate professionals joining us on 25 March, the event was a testament to the power of collective learning and growth.
Our speaker, Julian Pfrombeck, Assistant Professor at CUHK and Head of the Lifelong Learning Lab, guided us through the complexities and opportunities presented by demographic trends affecting workplaces worldwide, including here in Hong Kong. Throughout the session, we delved into the challenges posed by skilled labor shortages and intergenerational conflicts, along with strategies for retaining invaluable institutional knowledge and the immense potential of leveraging the complementary strengths of younger and older employees.
Julian’s research and practical advice provided us with a roadmap to navigate these challenges and harness the benefits of an age-diverse workforce. A heartfelt thank you to Julian for his enlightening sharing and to everyone who participated. Your enthusiasm and contributions made this session a memorable and impactful experience.
We look forward to continuing this journey together, exploring new ways to foster learning, growth, and enhanced performance in our workplace.
