Please take a moment to read the Toolbox Talk on embracing generational diversity. An age-diverse team is one that comprises people from various generations.

Generations are typically separated by periods of history marked by distinct events or significant events and developments. These collective experiences within a generation naturally lead to people of a certain age sharing general behaviors, opinions, and beliefs. Sometimes this can cause misunderstandings and tension when people of different generations are involved interact, especially when it is due to preconceived notions about the other generations’ work style, abilities, and values. Learning to overcome these differences will enable greater cohesion and an increased level of respect among members and coworkers. Bridging generational gaps will bring out each team member’s unique strengths by combining everyone’s complementary abilities, skills, and information, making the team stronger.
