Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the Healthy Hurried Human podcast, Michelle and Katherine explore the growing knowledge gap in industries like construction and manufacturing, where retiring workers are taking with them invaluable hands-on experience that isn’t easily replaced. They discuss the challenges of transferring this tacit knowledge across generations with differing communication styles and work habits, and highlight solutions like mentorship programs, knowledge capture tools, and intentional onboarding. Emphasizing the need for a culture of trust and multi-generational collaboration, the hosts make a strong case for addressing the gap early and proactively to preserve industry expertise and strengthen workplace continuity.
