MANAGING DIVERSITY IN THE WORKPLACE
Diversity is a paradoxical fact which needs the capability of hearing as well as looking at
the differences for obtaining the benefits of diversity. The intergenerational diversity is gaining
the importance in the workplace because the workplaces at present are becoming more diverse
and the transformations in expectation and aspects needs to look upon to form a more productive
workplace. The purpose of this study is to examine the issue of intergenerational diversity within
the workplace to improve the strategies in managing the increase in the understanding of
intergenerational morale and thus improving the productivity in the workplace. For the
understanding on the diversity reference has been taken from different sources which will
strongly impose the value of understanding the intergenerational gap for a betterment of a
workplace. The study will justify the need to understand the different aspects in which it can be
improved and implemented in the best way.
According to Holly Scroth generational or the unit differences on traits occur since over
the time the prevalent value of culture and practices change (Scroth 2019). Though the post
millennial generation or the generation z has similar traits with the millennial generation yet new
behavioral patterns are brought about (Scroth 2019). Every generation of employees is
narcissistic but with experience and over time the narcissism decreases hence narcissism is more
found between youths (Scroth 2019). Among all the generations Gen Z is found to be the most
achievement oriented generation. Understanding the distinct needs as well as the behaviors of the
generations in the workplace will be leading in having the better integration of the newer
employees and will result to the mutual success of the generations (Scroth 2019). Special
challenges are faced by the managers with the newer employees because they the manager has to
understand the driving factors of the Gen Z employees since they have no idea of the realities of
the workplace as compared to the past generation (Scroth 2019).
