Geriatric, us? | HR leaders, be careful about stereotyping the over 50s in the things you say and do!

HR leaders, be careful about stereotyping the over 50s in the things you say and do!

In September, I'll turn 46. While I could still just about say I'm in my 'mid-forties', there is that niggling feeling that the next big milestone is 50. When it comes to my personal life, I don't feel 'nearly 50' at all. In fact, the older I get, the more 'happy in my own skin' I feel.

And then I think about work. Not my actual work, which I love, but the way my age group (and the one I'm approaching) seems to be sitting more and more in a pigeon hole, surrounded by words like 'geriatric' and 'older'.
