Why are the expectations of gen Z so debated? And what does ageism have to do with the discussion?
In this episode, Emma Agricola, D&I expert and founder of Inclusyoung, explains ageism. In our conversation we cover the following topics: The definition of ageism and age bias, why ageism towards young people (youngism) is often overlooked, common misconceptions about gen Z, the generation context of gen Z and their expectations, the impact of ageism in the recruitment process, and what recruiters and HR managers can do to minimise ageism in the recruitment process and the workplace.

A bit about Emma Agricola
After a year of exploring the topic of DEI in the non-profit sector, she felt the need to take on a different lens and started working for asset manager Van Lanschot Kempen, where she grew into the Inclusion & Diversity specialist she is today. A while back, she furthermore launched INCLUSYOUNG; a training and consultancy-firm focused on the inclusion and retention of Gen Z and better collaboration between generations. This is the first organization, focused on the improvement of collaboration between generations and retention of Gen Z, that is also led by a Gen Z-er.
