In our eighth episode of Vibe Check, Julie Jeannotte (JJ), Workleap Officevibe’s HR expert & researcher, dives deep into a discussion with Martine Massarelli, Director of People and Culture at LG2. Together they untangle the dynamics, challenges, and undeniable advantages of working with multi-generational teams. In doing so, they uncover insights into what attracts and retains talent across different age groups, and how understanding and appreciation can bridge generational gaps.  

In this episode, the pair discusses the importance of: 

  • Navigating the complexities of a multi-generational workforce and the unexpected strengths it brings. 
  • Tailoring perks and policies to cater to diverse life stages and needs.  
  • The new-age workplace: breaking barriers between personal and professional lives. 
  • The post-Covid work vibe: the evolving nature of employee engagement, retention, and office culture when home is the new office. 
     

We talk a lot about culture add. And I think that only comes through a diversity of opinions, of backgrounds, of values, of ages, and of lived experiences.

– Martine Massarelli, Director of People and Culture at LG2
