Today's workforce spans five generations working side by side. The organizations that figure out how to make it work are the ones pulling ahead on recruitment, retention and engagement -- creating age-friendly workplaces for all ages.
On Sept. 18, join us for a full-day workshop, Age-Friendly Workplaces: Harnessing the Power of a Multigenerational Workforce. HR leaders, health care and social services professionals, and anyone managing an age-diverse team will walk away with practical strategies on generational dynamics, legal and risk considerations, and how to build trust and communication across every age group on the team, straight from the people who study this for a living.

Big news for sustainability at K-State 🌱
Tricia Jenkins and Eleni Pliakoni are part of the team behind a new $500,000 One K-State Fund project turning campus into a living lab for local, sustainable food production.
Fresh produce grown in manhattan campus greenhouses and at the Willow Lake Student Farm will supply K-State's dining services. Food waste will be composted and cycled right back into the system. Along the way, the four-year project will fund 40 student internships, giving students hands-on experience with the kind of closed-loop food systems more campuses and communities are looking to build.

The forum brought together researchers, government officials and industry leaders from the U.S., Europe, Japan and Korea to talk pet food nutrition standards, ingredient science and innovation, exactly the kind of global conversation K-State Olathe's ingredient science work is already part of.
