I\u2019ve faced assumptions and discriminatory comments about my own capabilities based on my age. We also know that individuals at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/capabilities\/people-and-organizational-performance\/our-insights\/making-sense-of-generational-stereotypes-at-work\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">various stages of life<\/a> have different needs at work and at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few years ago, I wanted to challenge age-related misconceptions and promote age diversity and inclusion at work. I heard about Genforce and was inspired to bring it to India. With the support of executive sponsors, I launched the Genforce India hub in 2022, and have now served on the global leadership team since 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"contextual-driver has-text-align-left contextual-driver--evergreen\">\n\t<header class=\"tidbit-header\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"tidbit-head\">\n\t\t\tSalesforce Is Building a More Inclusive Workplace and World.\t\t<\/h2>\n\t<\/header>\n\t<div class=\"tidbit-body\">\n\t\t<p><\/p>\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"tidbit-link label\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"label has-right-arrow has-right-arrow--small\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/company\/equality\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t<span>FIND OUT HOW<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 14 10\">\n\t<path d=\"M13.92 5.38a1 1 0 000-.76.9.9 0 00-.17-.26.25.25 0 000-.07l-4-4a1 1 0 00-1.46 1.42L10.59 4H1.07a1 1 0 000 2h9.52l-2.3 2.29a1 1 0 000 1.42 1 1 0 001.42 0l4-4a.25.25 0 000-.07.9.9 0 00.21-.26z\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img class=\"tidbit img-evergreen\"\n\t\tsrcset=\"\n\t\t\thttps:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/themes\/newsroom\/assets\/images\/article-tidbit-evergreen-large@0.5x.png 84w,\n\t\t\thttps:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/themes\/newsroom\/assets\/images\/article-tidbit-evergreen-large@1x.png 168w,\n\t\t\thttps:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/themes\/newsroom\/assets\/images\/article-tidbit-evergreen-large@2x.png 336w\n\t\t\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/themes\/newsroom\/assets\/images\/article-tidbit-evergreen-large@1x.png\"\n\t\talt=\"Illustration of evergreen\"\n\t\tsizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 175px, 130px\"\n\t>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q-what-are-some-of-the-misconceptions-about-different-generations-in-the-workforce\"><strong>Q. What are some of the misconceptions about different generations in the workforce?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Across the globe, unconscious biases lead to assumptions about what people are capable of based on their age. Someone may assume that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/internet\/2014\/04\/03\/older-adults-and-technology-use\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">older people are not tech-savvy<\/a> or innovative, or younger people react too quickly or don\u2019t want to work hard. One common perception is that career progression would eventually lead to a people leader role. For example, if an individual contributor is 10 to 15 years into their career, there can be a misperception that the individual is unambitious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The effects of generational bias are prevalent across all career stages, but in reality, members of each generation have different perspectives and strengths that they bring to the table. Genforce looks to break down stereotypes and create an environment where we can embrace our differences and learn from each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The effects of generational bias are widespread across all career stages, but members of each generation have different perspectives and strengths that they bring to the table.<\/p>\n<cite>Nayana Kadiyala, Customer Success Manager and the Global President of Genforce at Salesforce<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q-can-you-share-an-example-of-how-genforce-has-made-an-impact-on-our-business\"><strong>Q. Can you share an example of how Genforce has made an impact on our business?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We focus most of our energy on awareness and education. One of my favorite examples of creating more awareness is a campaign we launched called \u201cAge Is Just A Number.\u201d We asked employees to share their thoughts and personal experiences about someone who&#8217;s inspired them and challenged their perception of age personally or professionally. It helped open people\u2019s eyes to the discrimination that occurs in every demographic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also hosted an unconscious bias workshop with the Salesforce Office of Equality in India. The goal of the workshop was to help managers who lead employees in different age groups recognize the age-related biases they can carry and address them. Confronting these biases head-on allows us to create a more inclusive environment for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Education also allows us to help employees prepare for the challenges they may face at various life stages. For example, we regularly host sessions on <a href=\"https:\/\/siepr.stanford.edu\/news\/dollars-and-sense-case-teaching-personal-finance\">financial<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/siepr.stanford.edu\/news\/dollars-and-sense-case-teaching-personal-finance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> literacy<\/a> to help employees manage student loans, learn how to budget for major purchases, and save for retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container
