Episode Synopsis


In this episode of Resilience Talk features we explore generational conflict surrounding workplace dynamics, especially the differing perspectives on the concept of a business as a ‘family’. The dialogue delves into how millennials perceive the notion of workplace as family skeptically, influenced by past corporate mistrust and a desire for clear, more transactional communication from employers. The discussion contrasts this with older generations' views—like those of boomers and Gen X-ers—highlighting the cultural and economic shifts that inform these generational attitudes towards work, trust, and the employer-employee relationship. The episode traverses generational expectations, the impact of societal changes, and how mutual understanding and openness can bridge generational divides in corporate and family-run businesses.
