There are four to five generations of people in the workforce at any given time, which means you need to be equipped to manage a multigenerational team. Here are strategies to help you address the needs of employees across the age spectrum. Cultivate lifelong learning. A worker’s career can span six or more decades. To help them keep their skills up to date, invest in their learning and development by encouraging continuing education and on-the-job learning experiences. Offer flexible work arrangements. Employers can promote work-life balance and help their employees maintain their employment, job performance, and productivity when navigating different life phases. Offer flexible retirement options. It may seem counterintuitive, but offering flexible retirement options can be a powerful employee retention tool. If work and retirement are an all-or-nothing proposition, employers could lose valuable workers who want to transition but aren’t yet ready to fully retire. Offer comprehensive health benefits—and encourage employees to use them. You can foster a happier, healthier, and more productive workforce by encouraging employees to safeguard their physical and mental health through preventative strategies, recommended screenings, and seeking care when needed.
