2. ARCADIS Logos Huge age difference between employees
Sometimes it’s difficult to understand these differences
Fortunately, nobody is equal!
Every person has different feelings, attitudes, knowledge and
professional and life experiences
3. This project is able to prove it is possible to
have a healthy workplace among people of
different generations around the world
4. PURPOSE
Development of a forum page to connect young professionals
and senior managers, where they can share their experiences
and knowledge
This forum page can be built through a new software or by
improving the SharePoint platform
5. In this forum, each participant will have a specific
function: The senior managers will be
godfathers, while the young professionals will be their
godsons
6. PHASE 1
Registration of Participant Profile
Specifying their interests, courses, projects they’ve worked on
and knowledge
7. PHASE 2
Crossing data
The platform itself crosses
the information as a social
network (as the tool “people
you may know” on
Facebook), suggests
combinations between
godfathers and godsons and
pairs them up
8. PHASE 3
Action!
In a common forum, godfathers and godsons interact with
each other to exchanging knowledge and
experiences, including presentations, graphics, links and any
document in certain area or project (such as
mining, environment and water projects) adding this acquired
knowledge to their daily activities
9. Example
A young professional has
experience in a new
managing software, and a
senior manager has huge
knowledge in a specific
area
In the forum page they
can clarify doubts, ask
and answer each other’s
questions, share
documents…
10. Complements
To illustrate and bring life to this platform, every week there
should be comics about the characteristics of these different
generations
11. Complements
This platform should have an Instant Messenger (as Microsoft
Lync, MSN Messenger or Facetime) so they can clarify doubts
simultaneously
12. Measure & Award
Every six months the pairs must show for the entire group how this
acquired knowledge was applied to their projects, how important it is to
interact with other people - older and younger - and which were the
results obtained in the developed project
The pair that presents the best results will win an award by outstanding
performance
