Intergenerational Workplace Taskforce
The Intergenerational Workplace Taskforce brings businesses, policymakers and researchers together to respond to the real, lived dynamics of a multi-generational workforce. Led by Intergenerational England, the Taskforce exists to move beyond surface-level conversations and develop practical, evidence-led solutions that strengthen organisational culture, productivity and long-term resilience.
The State of Play: Why This Matters Now
Today’s workplaces are more age-diverse than ever — yet many organisational structures, policies and cultures were not designed for this reality.
Across sectors we are seeing:
-
Rising intergenerational tension and misunderstanding
-
Challenges around retention, progression and knowledge transfer
-
Increased pressure on wellbeing, engagement and trust
-
A disconnect between workforce experience and national policy frameworks
At the same time, everyday contact between generations is declining — both inside and outside work — weakening collaboration and shared understanding.
The Workplace Taskforce responds directly to this moment, positioning intergenerational practice as a strategic lever, not a “nice to have”.
