Breaking Ageism Barriers: Transforming Agile Hiring Practices
Description

Let's confront the uncomfortable truths that agile practitioners and coaches with silver hair, female, and of color face in today's hiring landscape. These voices have been sidelined for too long, and it's time to shed light on the stark realities that often go unaddressed. This session is for you if you want to combat ageism in Agile. In this fearless space, we delve into Agile professionals' challenges in the real world. We won't shy away from the difficult conversations; instead, we invite you to join a dialogue that confronts the biases and systemic issues affecting hiring practices within the Agile community. We'll challenge our norms, beliefs, and assumptions using dynamic and participatory formats. It's not just a discussion—it's a call to action. Let's explore these critical issues of ageism and discrimination through diverse lenses, gaining new perspectives and empowering ourselves with language to drive change in our daily lives. Your involvement is crucial, and together, we'll be bold.
