There’s a common misconception that mature workers, in comparison to their younger counterparts, don’t have the necessary skills or relevant experience to succeed in today’s tech-centric workplaces. And with over half of the workforce projected to be made up of millennials by 2020, we oftentimes overlook the value that mature workforces provide to any business.

Fetching coffee and making copies: are these the tasks that come to mind when you think of internships? If so, you’re not alone. For years, organizations have viewed interns as a source of cheap (or free) labor, perfect for offloading office drudgeries. Because the interns were walking away with “experience” to boast about in future job interviews, employers didn’t feel much of a responsibility to invest in them.

We all know someone in power who chooses to hide behind the comfort of their authority. The real task is thinking up senior executives who embody what it means to lead with transparency, honesty, and sincerity.

While it’s vital for a person to know where their strengths lie, it’s also important to understand the vulnerable parts of ourselves we often try to ignore.

A reader writes: I’ve noticed in the past year or two there are quite a few people (typically middle-aged men) who are reaching out to me via LinkedIn (I am a 20-something woman) trying to recruit me.

A reader writes: My workplace is a generally nice place, but there is a lot of gossiping and complaining. Voices carry and we have a lot of people coming through, so there’s a risk that if people are gossiping, other people could end up overhearing colleagues talking about them or someone they know. It doesn’t help that some of our employees work all of their time in the office (including me) and the others come and go, which I think creates an in-group and an out-group.
