Harnessing the Power of an Age-Diverse Workforce:
Work-Life, Well-Being and the Employee Lifecycle

2024 Annual CUWFA Conference
Hosted by University of Arizona
April 16-18, 2024 

There are more generations in the workplace than ever before. The need to create robust and innovative age-inclusive solutions to support personal and professional challenges throughout the work-life cycle continues to grow. It is essential that organizations foster policy, procedures, and practices to create a culture in which all ages can thrive. Work-Life leaders and practitioners have an essential role to play within this evolutionary process.

Through keynote speakers, panels and session discussions, we will:

• Explore expectations and perceptions of a multi-generational workforce
• Maximize the value of an age-diverse culture
• Discuss how to drive sustainable solutions to the varied work, life and family challenges at every age and stage
