## Details

• The Scottish Legal Complaints Commission's offices: 12-13 St Andrew Sq, Edinburgh EH2 2AF. (See below for access details.)

ABOUT THE SESSION
The workforce is getting older, whilst simultaneously growing to include more generational groups than ever before.

Perhaps your age diversity and inclusion stats are looking great, you’ve got that growing diversity in your organisation, you’re maybe even running some trainings or workshops to help people understand how to work together; through Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X and Boomers.

But is it working? Is it helping? Are there still undercurrents of age bias and discrimination getting in the way of your organisation doing its best work? How would you know?

This session will show you an alternative interaction and context based approach to diagnose cultural issues in an organisation, with a particular focus on when age gets in the way of the best work being done.

Using her Survive/Thrive model of team inclusion, Valerie will cover the key characteristics to watch out for when a team is working in ‘Survival mode’ - getting the work done, but with an underlying dynamic of frustration and exhaustion.

She will also demonstrate how to get underneath any age dynamics at play and enable that team - and by extension the whole organisation - to thrive. To be ready for anything with an adaptive and evolving culture,where success comes easily.

Want to find out more? Join us on Wednesday September 10th from 6:15pm.

As with other sessions, there is an open invitation to head to the pub for a chat after the session too.
