Bangalore: New set of challenges and opportunities rises often in today's workforce like the looming labor shortage, sagging productivity, knowledge transfer, the language barrier and newest one is the multigenerational workforce, says Sherri Elliott-Yeary Generational Guru. In an era of mind-bending and unrelenting change, the challenges-and the gulf between generations-have grown exponentially regarding the approach to work and use various tools and technologies.
Sherri Elliott-Yeary Generational Guru, a senior professional in human resources illustrates that understanding generational issues not only allows companies to resolve conflicts but to boost productivity in multigenerational workforce. This means the generational difference can become a competitive advantage if the companies know how to handle it.
Pitt-Catsouphes, director of Boston College says that "Smart organizations attempt to understand the underlying issues and ensure that various age groups aren't marginalized or excluded from the process. Workers of different ages have different things to offer to an organization".
At the end the challenge in working with different generations is to get them to look past and to value what each generation can bring to the workplace in future. And if the company HRs learned to make this gap into a growth then the contribution from different generations will surely benefit the firm.
