July - Intergenerational Month
July - Intergenerational Month
Breaking Down Age-Related Barriers
A truly innovative workforce is one that brings together the unique experiences and fresh perspectives of every generation. By championing an intergenerational workplace, we move beyond just combating ageism; we build a more cohesive and supportive community where everyone feels valued.
Celebrating Intergenerational Month helps to reinforce commitment to creating an environment rich with shared knowledge, new skills, and meaningful connections. For colleagues this means greater wellbeing and a stronger sense of purpose and belonging, while for businesses, it unleashes a vast pool of talent that drives them forward.
This is done through dedicated initiatives that bridge generational gaps and foster mutual respect. This includes active employee resource groups that give every generation a voice, structured mentoring and reverse-mentoring programmes that encourage a two-way exchange of skills and embedding intergenerational learning into development opportunities.
