Generation at Knight Frank
Generational diversity in the workplace refers to having employees from various age groups, including Baby Boomers, Generation Z, and those in between. Generation aims to combat age discrimination, addressing biases against both older and younger workers. Unconscious biases can lead to stereotypes about older workers, affecting succession, resource allocation, and symbolic identity. However, generational diversity goes beyond combating ageism; it brings valuable benefits to the workplace.
Diverse age groups contribute different perspectives, fostering innovation and creative problem-solving. Inter-generational mentoring enhances career development and boosts employee retention. Moreover, a generational diverse workforce enables better understanding of a varied customer base, improving marketing, product development, and customer service.
