1. Create opportunities for communications
Having team exercises and interdepartmental
projects encourage communication between
different generations, this can help in
separating some of the stereotypes
surrounding each generation.

2. Mix and match
Putting together employees that are from different generations
creates a pool of different personalities and perspectives.

3. Respectful Environments
Enforcing a respectful environment helps to create an atmosphere of
openness as employees would be able to share their opinions and
ideas without the fear of being rejected or ridiculed.

4. Standardize Communication
The younger generations are
more technologically advanced
than the older generation. So
having a single platform for
communication throughout your
business can clear up any
miscommunication as everyone
will know how to use it.
