Bridging age barriers at the workplace
Live MintOver the last year, a large part of my work with organisations has focused on finding effective ways to work with a multi-generational workforce. Choosing to mindfully spend energy on identifying how the workforce is spread across various generations is the first step, but while doing this, it is important not to fall for stereotypes associated with every generation. Younger clients in therapy often bring up how they feel judged when their older colleagues have rigid opinions and make insensitive comments about their lifestyle, social media posts, and even their financial decisions. Working with a multi-generational team requires a manager to spend time getting to know their team, check in with them regularly and ensure that every member, irrespective of age, feels included and heard. Investing in building a healthy work culture can go a long way towards making an organisation a psychologically safe space where employees can flourish and business can grow.
