Benefits Think A new diversity concept can blend a multi-generational workforce

Published 5 Min Read

As global HR leaders and numerous studies will tell you, diversity is the cornerstone to a strong professional team. Yet, contrary to popular belief, how we label generations in the workplace is actually creating segregation, not inclusion.

If employees see themselves as being on the same team, they can begin to see their differences as remarkable strengths. The concept of “new diversity” is about understanding the unconscious biases we have created through categorizing generational workers and working together to change the way that we, as a society, think about specific age groups and how to leverage technology to close the gap to generational differences rather than widen the gap.
