Real Talk: Generations and DE&I
For the first time in history, there are five generations represented in the workplace. Generational issues in the context of diversity, equity, and inclusion are a complex topic that involves different perspectives and experiences from individuals from various generations. An important issue within this topic is the perception and approach towards DE&I, where older generations may have had less exposure to the topic, while younger generations tend to be more familiar with it. This can lead to conflicts and misunderstandings in the workplace, particularly when it comes to issues such as inclusion, equity, and unconscious bias. Younger employees may feel frustrated with the slow pace of change, while older employees may feel defensive or resistant to change.
