A generation gap in the workplace can make workers both young and old feel inferior, as well as hamper productivity and teamwork Differences between generations can be seen in work ethics, habits and communication styles Younger workers might fear not being taken seriously by their older colleagues, while older workers might fear that their experience is not valued but replaced by workers with knowledge of more current technology However, members of each generation can close the gap between them if they're willing to meet one another halfway
Older workers can show respect to the younger set by asking for their opinions and recognizing their contributions to the workplace as valid, or complimenting them on a job well done Younger workers can show their elders respect by asking for advice on how to manage a situation with work, based on the older worker's many years of experience It's important for both entry- and senior-level workers to see each other as equals, regardless of the type of position in which they work No one wants to feel inferior or irrelevant just because of their age Rather, a generation gap at work can be a learning opportunity
(5)and appreciate each other's work contributions
If age seems to be a problem for someone at the workplace, it can be helpful to the very opposite of what a co-worker might expect from someone of a different age set due to stereotypes For example, if a worker is considerably younger such as right out of college, she can share researched information to indicate that she knows what she's doing, or show curiosity instead of upset to indicate emotional maturity if the person makes a disparaging remark about her youth Older workers can maintain an enthusiastic attitude about work instead of showing boredom or bitterness from past experiences
Workers can, moreover, directly address the concern of age differences at work with the colleague at odds with them by asking the person for constructive advice on how to handle the issue For example, older workers who are unfamiliar with new software that younger colleagues understand might acknowledge to them that they did the same tasks differently in years past but show interest in learning the program to keep up with modern technology Learning to speak their technological language can make them feel more connected Likewise, a younger worker can admit to being green on the work scene, but eager to gain experience by learning from senior colleagues
