Applying generalizations and assumptions can lead to organizations missing out on many highly suitable, effective employees. To change these mindsets, employers must increase awareness of this bias through multiple channels. Talking about the issue of age discrimination more in general, by sharing and contributing to relevant articles, is incredibly important. Employers must also prioritize learning more about ‘success stories’ of those hired in the IT field across a cross-section of age brackets. This is to ensure hiring managers and the general organization can have firsthand experience meeting and hearing from people who may not fit their preconceived ideas.
