Class Today

Class was really interesting today. I enjoyed talking about how the workforce is changing. An aging workforce and a diverse workforce are definitely the main concerns today. However, I don't think they have to be concerns if we look at them in the right way. Diversity brings a lot of different life experiences and enhanced knowledge for a company. Different cultures bring different strengths. Let's embrace diversity and use it to our advantage. Besides, we will need outside workers as soon as all of the older population can retire. The aging workforce can be a problem in the sense that we are going to be hit one day where they all retire and we are left with young workers who don't know the company very well.
