Age discrimination | Madonna shows HR why it's imperative not to ignore 'older' workers

Madonna shows HR why it's imperative not to ignore 'older' workers

One of the key elements of Madonna's career has been her ability to reinvent herself and remain relevant in an ever-evolving industry.

She has consistently pushed boundaries and challenged societal norms, using her platform to advocate for various social causes while also embracing her sexuality and individuality.

And never more so than right now as she's performing at the O2 for her Celebration Tour. She's still pushing boundaries of performance and dancing in a way that would put a 40-something like myself to shame. And for HR, she's a shining example of why you simply can't ignore the 'older' generation of workers, either in your company and teams, or in the recruitment process.

While, of course, Madonna's fitness and physicality is most likely supported by trainers, nutritionists and a whole host of support staff, it's not just about the physcial.
