In the first six months of 2018, an estimated 17,120 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes, but it’s doubtful the same number of national or global headlines appeared on these tragedies.

Against the struggles of racism and sexism, ageism may seem a minor concern. But prejudice against older folks is a real issue and one that should be considered in any survey of diversity and inclusion. I know ageism is real, because I’ve long been ageist.

At the best small companies, inclusion happens naturally. Colleagues are few in number and often just a desk away. Everyone feels like they belong.

“Customer-first” mantras have become a trendy guiding light for businesses of all shapes, sizes and industries.
