Generational Diversity in the Workplace
Generational Diversity in the Workplace
Age does not guarantee wisdom, nor does it confirm ignorance. Likewise youth does not guarantee fitness and energy, nor does it confirm laziness.
Generational diversity in the Workplace is an exciting concept for companies that are focused on giving their clients what they need. Gone are the times when people were laid off at 40 - for being too old, or when young employees were treated as "kids."
When we understand that everyone adds to us and that everyone in their own unique way brings value, we move into a new level of generational diversity in the Workplace management.
We then begin to understand that all ages and all groups are representative of our markets, and when we develop common and acceptable values and behaviours, we begin to achive the successes that we desire.
