In today’s diverse workplace, it’s common to find multiple generations working side by side. Each generation brings its own set of values, expectations, and communication styles, shaped by the unique social, economic, and technological environments they grew up in. Understanding these generational traits is crucial for employers who want to stay connected with their teams and keep them motivated.
I recently had the pleasure of being a guest on a podcast with Kim Searle, The Inner Game Coach and Richard Brewin, Progress BB where we discussed the importance of knowing your team and the impact that it can have on your bottom line and the reality of attracting and retaining your top talent and delivering on your customers expectations.

Managing a multi-generational workforce requires a nuanced approach that considers the distinct traits and preferences of each generation. By tailoring communication, fostering inclusion, offering flexibility, investing in development, recognising contributions, and promoting work-life balance, employers can create an environment where all employees feel valued and motivated. Ultimately, understanding and embracing generational diversity can lead to a more connected, engaged, and productive workforce.

It’s also a period when some types of organisation might need extra support and will take on casual workers.
After the challenges of Covid-19, which appears to have now stabilised, employers are now facing uncertainty as a result of Brexit, the war in the Ukraine, the huge increases in the cost of living and now fears of a world recession.
