Apart from measuring diversity based on Gender/Age/Levels etc, its important to be sensitive
about generation diversity
There is nothing right or wrong about GEN1/GEN2/GEN3. As a manager, understanding the
key differences in their value system is important
The biggest advantage of GEN3 is that their value system enables them to think big, be creative,
out of b thinking and take more risks. If GEN3 gets engaged, they are permanent.

Army advertisements is a classic example of them knowing the inter generation differences and
using the appropriate value system to attract talent.
Initial Ads from Army was focusing on Patriotism (For GEN1)
Then they started coming out with Lifestyle ads â Giving a message that the army life is no different than a corporate
life. Club memberships, Golf memberships were being highlighted (For GEN2).
Now you see ads which shows âLakshyaâ movie and then connects the reel hero to patriotism because patriotism is
already sold (For GEN3)
GEN3).
