By having a committed worker, you are less likely to have to worry about someone else picking up that employee's slack cause of his or her absence or lack of commitment. .
The advantage of having younger workers in your organization is important to a company as well. Just as seniors get to mentor younger workers, younger workers are able to mentor senior workers. This is described as reverse age mentorship. Trying to keep up with the pace of current society, it gets difficult for senior employees so by having younger workers available it allows them to provide support and guidance to the older workers. Moreover, younger employees tend to develop modern ideas to apply to today's society. We all know the importance of keeping up with current trends, by having younger employees they are able to offer the ideas to do so because they are part of that generation. .
A good organization that wants to have an advantage on its competition would have both senior employees and younger generation employees in their workforce. By doing so, it allows for the disadvantages of having senior workers offset by having younger workers and vice versa. Another aspect of diversity seen in the workforce more so in the millennium then the 20th century is the educated worker. In earlier years, there were only a few employees of a company who actually obtained education beyond the second grade to help with decision-making. This is most evident during the Industrial Revolution period, when mill workers only knew how to do a job by learning hands on and not by sitting in a classroom listening to some other educated individual or studying it in a book of some kind. Employees of mills and factories barely knew how to read let alone do calculations. Take two great philosophies from two influential African American men; for example, one, Booker T. Washington believed in teaching the young "colored" people a skill.
