Generational differences at the workplace

• Many workplaces have a somewhat odd fixation on age and the segregation of different generations that occurs ('age segregation'), which often leads to the underutilisation of competence within organisations. The chapter reviews some common misunderstandings between different generations that impel cooperation. The review helps HR specialists to understand the importance of the dimension of age and may provide these specialists the necessary tools to overcome any obstacles or problems which may arise in connection with age differences. Again, this is done so that every person’s competence, irrespective of their age, can be used within the organisation.
