Talk
How do employees with more experience get a place within the organisation where they will thrive? What stereotypes exist about “older” colleagues, and are they actually true?
We are all getting older, which is why we are increasingly working longer hours. But organisations are changing fast, and when new colleagues keep coming in, it can be hard to hold your own among all those youngsters. Career researcher Beatrice van der Heijden tells you why colleagues of all ages add something to your work.
The language of discussion is Dutch.
