Employees have already experienced generational conflicts — these usually remain unresolved and have a subliminal effect.
Challenge
The intergenerational dialogue is faltering — because there is no common framework.
In many companies today, up to five generations work side by side. According to the DeepSkill survey, topics such as mental load, understanding of values and feedback culture are experienced as particularly challenging.
However, there is often a lack of proper handling of criticism, a shared understanding of leadership, or unifying structures. This leads to misunderstandings, tensions — and declining productivity.
Only when organizations invest specifically in intergenerational communication, psychological safety and cross-age collaboration does an environment arise in which experience, innovative capacity and diversity become a common strength.
DeepSkill Solution

Results
Strengthen productivity and retention with generational competence.
When companies specifically promote cross-generational collaboration, the effect is not only reflected in cooperation, but also measurable in performance. Teams that are involved across ages work more productively, with higher quality and stay with the company for longer. An inclusive culture that brings together the perspectives and experiences of all generations thus becomes a lever for sustainable corporate success. The LSE Generations Survey Report 2023 demonstrates this connection with impressive key figures.
