Mix the generations and maximise the results

Businesses today face a major generational challenge that will become even more pronounced, with both widespread skills shortages and an ageing population in an increasingly digitalised labour market. The future requires more skills development and learning across generations, where innovation can flourish and knowledge can be transferred.

What does this mean for businesses today? It is difficult to retain and attract experienced people, has an imbalanced workforce and far too homogeneous work teams. Employees are expected to act or be driven by age-related factors, recruitment is biased, and young people are being lost in innovation professions.

A mixed-generation workplace creates greater basic security, trust and cooperation, less unhealthy internal competition and more learning across borders. It provides greater opportunities for multi-faceted problem solving and better conditions for innovation, which in turn paves the way for a better corporate culture and more optimism about the future, as more people will see greater opportunities for personal development over time. All this, properly packaged and communicated, creates strong employer brands that attract more talented individuals to companies.

We help you meet the future with Generation Mix. We look at your circumstances, where you are today and where you want to be. We analyse your communication, how your leaders communicate, how recruitment is done and what you are doing to develop skills and promote knowledge transfer. Based on that, we develop a strategy and action plan to get the job done - from the inside out.

Generation Mix is an offer from Involve and Mindmakers that is about having a better understanding and creating conditions for all generations in the workplace. Contact us and we'll tell you more!
