So often when analyzing age or generation gaps we quickly begin to consider the differences diverse groups share. What is one commonality that all generations share? They want respect. They may define it differently, but ultimately it represents one commonality that all generations share.
In your workplace you can consider these tips for improving communication and reducing harmful conflict while delivering a message that says “I respect you.” In the workplace all generations want to:
* be trusted and heard
* work with insightful and positive people
* openly give and receive valuable feedback
* be encouraged and understand how they fit in
Is your workplace multi-generational? Are there communication difficulties where harmful conflict may be about to emerge? Consider a focus on the positive characteristics that we all have in common, it is the first step to harmonizing your workplace culture.
