The modern workplace is experiencing two concurrent demographic shifts: an ageing overall workforce and an increase in younger individuals occupying senior management roles.
Yet while these trends might initially appear to create intergenerational conflict, they actually present a valuable opportunity. Organisations that can successfully facilitate the transfer of knowledge and experience from older workers to their younger counterparts stand to gain significant advantages.
By fostering this exchange, companies can not only enhance their own capabilities but also contribute to a more robust and dynamic work environment across industries, argues Chip Conley.
