Generational Diversity and what this means
for workplace practice4th February 2015
Dianah Worman OBE
Public Policy Adviser Diversity
Lessons learned
• Don’t make assumptions about people based on age
cohort characteristics
• Treat people as individuals
• There are common needs and preferences but
appetites for them can vary
• Millennials (Gen Y)
• Gen Z
• The connected generation…
Issues to think about
• People value working with others of different ages – they see more benefits –
especially knowledge sharing - than problems
• Age is not seen as important – it is the
different values that can cause problems
• Not all conflict is bad – some stimulates creativity
and innovation
• Appetites for different provisions vary but all are
valued
Many values and priorities are shared across age
groups but there is a strong link between life-stage and working experience on work priorities
