Abstract

Workplace diversity has been one of the most critical issues over the past few years. It is a difficult subject for managers to tackle in the space of work. Organizations are facing an inherent age gap among their employees, which raises new issues for professionals. With the rapid changes and developments in technology, the elderly employees are generally perceived as those “missing agility and repelling new technology.” There are other grounds on which the age of employees has been discussed as a determinant of varying levels of behavioral and work-related outcomes. It is essential for businesses to figure out the means to manage and balance the age diversity at the workplace. However, the biggest obstacles that professionals may face when trying to implement this include modifications in areas such as job characteristics, working time, and management styles. This study discusses the global perspectives on age diversity at the workplace and provides actionable recommendations for organizations to develop an inclusive environment for higher levels of efficiency and effectiveness.
