With almost 80% workforce participation, is your workplace culture prepared for the needs of workers who range from 25 to 55? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median age of the labor force is 42.2.  By 2032, 8.6% of the workforce will be over 65. This means institutional knowledge should be cultivated before retirement occurs.   

The shift in generational participation in the workforce is happening now, and it is an opportunity for us to discuss how to leverage our unique strengths within each generation. 

 Multigenerational workforces call for multi-focused approaches. From transferring organizational knowledge, employee connectivity and engagement, to succession planning, is your organization prepared to manage five generations simultaneously? Creating and sustaining a company culture that allows multigenerational workforces to thrive is the key to competitive advantage. 

Culture is the story of any organization.  And humans thrive on stories... stories of accomplishment, coming together, overcoming, and rooting for the underdog. Each story highlights strength, determination, and modeled behavior. The communication of these stories becomes the foundation of a culture.

 To gauge your organization's readiness, you should regularly assess your organization’s culture for how it communicates its mission, vision, and values. It’s time to reassess your organization’s strengths and consider Employee Resource Groups as a competitive advantage. Knowing your organizational strengths and the ability to communicate those strengths is how you unlock the success of multigenerational workforces.
