Generational differences in the workplace can cause unsolvable problems - Problem: Attitudes towards work (young employees and the senior employees), they have different attitudes in doing the job

 - Solution: Communication and respect
 - Solution: Not just communication, but ask the people to seek common ground and hold their difference. Ask them to do different things according to their generation.
- Solution: regular seminars can be conducted by the firm to offer practical advice to the employees on how to deal with the problems which may be arised from misunderstang
- Problem: they have different perceptions towards career development
- Solution: more communication is needed, for example organise more gatherings
- but: this does not make any difference
- Problem: The different Value System and experience will cause the conflicts between young and old.
