Generational diversity is an upward trend witnessed in several workplaces today.
Employers are now expected to adjust their company culture and communication styles to accommodate all of their employees with varying work ethics, personal values, and personality types.
In a Wrike article, the author notes that leaders shouldn’t force employees to fit in the same work environment but rather, set up guidelines that allow every employee to feel comfortable, valued, and respected.
Here’s how you can bring the best out of your multigenerational workforce:
– Do your research to understand the needs and working preferences of each workforce generation.
– Consider the viewpoints of each team member.
– Place different generations on projects together so their work complements one another.
– Do not assume that an employee has certain skills just because of their age.
– Regularly help employees bond with teammates of different generations.
What steps have you taken towards making each person feel valued?
