Designing the 100-Year Workforce: How Multigenerational Design Shapes Work

For the first time in history, up to six generations may share the workforce—from early-career Gen Z professionals to employees working well into their seventies and beyond. At the same time, global longevity is rising, with the population aged 80 and older projected to triple by 2050. Drawing on insights from the ASID 2026 Trends Outlook Report, this session reframes aging as an opportunity rather than a challenge. Industry leaders will explore how organizations can design workplaces that support collaboration, wellbeing, mentorship, and knowledge transfer across generations—turning longevity into a powerful strategic advantage.
