Show Notes

"Okay, Boomer! Turn those hearing aids up and listen in." Even when said in jest, statements like these can easily create a situation of age or generational discrimination. In today’s episode, Chuck and John dive into stories of employees who have felt discriminated against due to their age, whether through comments, application processes, or pressures to change appearance. Learn ways to avoid having a potential lawsuit on your hands. 

In the HR News segment, the team touches on the following topics and more:

  • Proposed changes to EEOC guidelines
  • ‘Culture Shock’ of COVID work environments
  • NLRB updates that can greatly impact franchisers
  • The ROI on leadership development

The viewpoints expressed by the characters in the stories are not necessarily that of The Team at HR Stories. The stories are shared to present various, real-world scenarios and share how they were handled by policy and, at times, law. Chuck and John are not lawyers and always recommend working with an employment lawyer to address concerns.
