Communication is essential when it comes to the workplace. So, addressing miscommunication quickly and respectfully is key to maintaining our workplace relationships.

Let’s face it, treating people differently in employment, based on things like age, can be unlawful. Bias based on age is a reality – and can be subtle or blatant. Ageism in the workplace has to do with people being discounted because of their age. This happens when someone is seen as too young or too old to tackle a specific task or requirement.

Each of our different experiences and expectations are why learning to communicate across generations is so important. The reality is that each generation comes with its own rules for the workplace.
