Leveraging Personality Tests to Unify a Multi-Generational Workforce.

Gen X (1965-1979), Millennials (1980-1994), and Gen Z (1995-2012) each bring distinctive perspectives (values), approaches to work (informal roles) and mindsets (developmental opportunities). Against this landscape, it is imperative for companies to find innovative ways to bridge these generational gaps. The past few years have seen a seismic shift in how we define work. As of May 2023, nearly 39% of UK professionals have experienced remote working.

This monumental change underscores the rapid evolution of ‘workplace norms’. For Gen Z, remote work isn’t an exception, but their expectation. This shift in perspective can lead to misunderstandings between generations which impede productivity. This emphasises the need for proactive solutions. Enter science-based personality tests. These invaluable tools offer a data-driven approach to understanding and appreciating the unique attributes of each generation. This allows everyone to appreciate the strengths that they bring to the workplace. With insight, teams better leverage inter-generational diversity, creating healthier inter-personal dynamics and boosting performance. Savvy organisations harness the unique blend of experience, values and preferences to achieve greater levels of retention, engagement and financial success.
