15. Age diversity is everywhere you look. It exists in
classrooms due to a late start or top performers who
moved more quickly through the grades.
It exists at the grocery store, church, gym, work place
and more.
Age Diversity
16. By recruiting from a bigger pool of talent, you will achieve a
more dynamic and mixed age workforce.
You will tap into a richer area of skills, experience, and
knowledge.
Access to experience and proven skills
A workforce that matches closely the profile of your customers.
Older workers have a better attendance record than young
workers
Older workers are more flexible in accepting change in
occupation and earnings.
Older workers are more flexible and able to work part time.
More experienced senior workers are more appreciative of
matters such as; work ethic, judgment, commitment to quality,
low turnover, attendance and punctuality.
Recruiting
17. Age diversity is broken into four groups in the
workplace.
Traditionalist (born before 1946)
Baby boomers (born 1946-1964)
Generation Xer’s (born 1965-1981)
Millennials (born 1982-2000
Four Groups
18. The number of mature workers will steadily increase
in the years to come Workers ages 55-64 will increase
36.5% when compare to 2006. Even more dramatic
increases for the ages 65-74 and those 75 and up- a
big 80%
Numbers Increasing
19. The mature worker workers, which are the
traditionalist and the baby boomers, are described as
loyal and hardworking, but dinosaurs when it comes
to technology.
Younger employees, which are the generation xer’s
and the millenials, are described as innovative, but
disrespectful and lazy.
These are stereotypes that can lead to conflict and
turmoil in the workplace.
Division in the Workplace
20. Let’s rethink loyalty. Mature workers value company loyalty
Some younger workers are loyal to a boss, a team, a project
but not necessarily a company.
Loyalty is expressed differently and needs to be valued and
understood through different eyes.
Understand that young or old, we all share some of the same
core values. Family is important to both mature and younger
generations.
Try to communicate to all generations. Young people consider
technology to be an essential part of their lives.
Everyone wants to be respected. Mature and experienced
people want to know that their ideas have weight, and that
they can still be taken seriously. Younger people want to be
respected for their skills and talents.
Solutions
21. Age diversity is a reality in todays workplace and will
only increase in the future. Transferring knowledge
from one generation to another is a key component in
learning. We have to communicate with one another
to thrive and be successful in the workplace.
