Join host Corrie Melanson for a thought-provoking conversation with Julie Glazer, accessibility consultant in the Annapolis Valley, and Laura Swain, Manager of Community Programs at YWCA Halifax, as they explore how different generations are reshaping workplace accessibility, from Gen Z to Boomers.

Julie and Laura bring unique perspectives from supporting teams spanning early 20s to over 65, revealing how younger workers are entering the workforce with stronger self-awareness and clearer expectations around accommodations, while older generations are discovering new language and diagnoses later in life. Together, they unpack the tension between traditional workplace structures and emerging approaches centred on flexibility, vulnerability, and openness.

Key topics include:

• 
  Why psychological safety can't just be a buzzword and how to actually build it
• The power of occupational therapists to assess entire workplaces, not just individuals
• Employee resource groups: Why small organisations should collaborate regionally
• How Gen Z is "changing the dial" and saying "time's up" on workplace barriers
• Starting benefits day one and exploring four-day work weeks
• Why accommodations aren't a checkbox, they're an ongoing conversation
• Embedding accessibility into the building blocks of work: meetings, emails, and everyday interactions

Whether you're managing a multi-generational team, navigating your own accommodation needs, or leading organisational change, this episode offers inspiration, practical strategies, and hope for creating workplaces where everyone can thrive.
