\/><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-1\"><p>In today\u2019s workplace, employees can range from Traditionalists and Baby Boomers to Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. Each generation brings unique values, communication styles, and work preferences shaped by the cultural and technological environments they have been immersed in.<\/p>\n<p>Kenya\u2019s labor force includes many generations working side by side. Many older professionals who began their careers during Kenya\u2019s post-independence era (1960s\u201380s) are reported to value hierarchy, loyalty, and formality. They often prefer direct, in-person communication and are seen as custodians of institutional knowledge. Generation X, born between the late 1960s and early 1980s, is characterized by independence, adaptability, and pragmatism. They tend to bridge traditional and modern workplace values.<\/p>\n<p>Millennials and Generation Z are younger generations that grew up during Kenya\u2019s technological boom, with widespread access to mobile phones and the internet. They are thought to be digitally savvy and socially conscious and often prioritize work-life balance, career development, and purpose-driven work.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The panel session focused on unpacking strategies for catering to a multigenerational workforce. Kenya\u2019s multigenerational workforce is a strategic asset, and managing multigenerational dynamics in Kenyan workplaces is critical for businesses striving for innovation, productivity, and social cohesion. Elisha Bwatuti, Business Advisor, Africa Economic Development Hub, moderated the session. Some of the key takeaways from this conversation are summarized below:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Foster Open Communication and Mutual Respect. <\/strong>Encourage dialogue about different work styles and preferences. Create an environment where everyone feels valued and heard, regardless of age. Ann Karanu, Group Head of Human Resources, Jubilee Holdings, remarked that &#8220;At Jubilee, we know that one size doesn\u2019t fit all, that\u2019s why we take a tailored approach\u2014not just for our external customers, but for our internal customers, our employees.\u201d By using virtual and physical town halls, companies can create intentional spaces to connect, listen, share, and, most importantly, speak with their people the same way they talk to customers, with clarity, care, and respect. Stakeholder management needs to be personalized to the preferences of the distinct segments that make up the workforce.<\/p>\n<p>Communication Channels with employees can be customized by using a mix of communication methods, such as emails, instant messaging, video calls, and face-to-face meetings, to accommodate preferences across generations. Gen Z is used to consuming short-form content like short videos, while other generations may prefer longer-form content. Using a mix of communication methods will keep this heterogeneous workforce engaged.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cater to Microsegments. <\/strong>Safaricom is rethinking talent through a generational and multicultural lens. The company recognizes that traditional categories like gender, race, religion, or age no longer provide a complete picture of today\u2019s workforce. Instead, a more nuanced approach is needed, one that considers cultural identity, life stage, digital fluency, and shifting values. James Muhia, Organization Effectiveness and Change Lead at Safaricom, explained, \u2018For example, Sandra is 23, lives in Kileleshwa, and works in data science, and Brenda is 25, married, and has two children. While they are close in age, their life circumstances and priorities are vastly different. A single engagement strategy would not be effective for both of them.\u2019 Safaricom embracing micro-segmentation: developing targeted strategies that reflect the diverse realities of its people. The company also acknowledges a growing segment: Perennials, individuals who continue to evolve, regardless of age. These people stay curious, adapt to change, and remain active contributors at every stage of life. By shifting toward this more inclusive and dynamic view of talent, Safaricom aims to support its people better and unlock their full potential.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tailor Recognition and Feedback. <\/strong>Eva Njaaga, a Human Resources Officer at Food for Education, emphasized the importance of personalized communication in the workplace, noting that she would rather have one-on-one conversations with her manager than wait for quarterly performance reviews. Her perspective highlights a growing need to tailor recognition and feedback to individual preferences. Different generations and even individuals within the same age group have distinct expectations. While some may appreciate public recognition or formal review cycles, others, like Eva, value more frequent, private, and constructive conversations. Understanding these nuances is key to building a more engaged, motivated, and inclusive workforce.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mentorship<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pair experienced employees with younger staff for mutual learning. Older workers can share institutional knowledge, while younger ones can offer fresh perspectives and digital skills. Reverse mentoring is becoming increasingly valuable in today\u2019s workplace, especially as Gen Z employees, digital natives, bring fresh perspectives and advanced tech fluency. Unlike traditional mentoring, where senior employees guide juniors, reverse mentoring allows younger team members to share their insights on digital trends, social media, emerging technologies, and new ways of working.<\/p>\n<p>A truly effective strategy must move beyond generational stereotypes and focus on what connects us at the core. Find the common denominator. Values can transcend generational borders. While Gen Z may be digital natives who value community, autonomy, and purpose, those values, belonging, impact, and growth can resonate across all age groups. The common denominator is not age, but the human need for recognition, meaningful work, and authentic connection. Instead of segmenting by generation, organizations are shifting the conversation to focus on individuals and deciphering their motivations, values, and lived experiences. Personalized attention is a fundamental value at Strathmore University and can be embraced in this context. Organizations should view their people not as segments, but as human beings, and design strategies that reflect their diversity and their shared humanity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Article by Shailja Sharma,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SBS Faculty Member and Leadership and Career Coach<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La s\u00e9ance d'information sur les interactions avec les clients qui s'est tenue le jeudi 15 mai 2025 \u00e0 la Strathmore University Business School (SBS) a \u00e9t\u00e9 un moment fort de connexion et d'apprentissage entre les \u00e9tudiants en MBA de la Harvard Business School (HBS) et de la SBS.
