Question

What policies or strategies could an organization implement to prevent these negative experiences from occurring?- This is an OB question please help.

"the negative experiences include: 

-They can be insensitive to fellow co-workers (homophobic and/or racist). Co-workers of different races or sexual orientations may be subject to inappropriate comments made by elderly employees. The organization can focus on training the employees about acceptable workplace behaviour. 

- They can’t learn new things (take time to train). Team members that are attempting to teach the elderly member may become irritated at their efforts. The organization can focus on the elderly members pre-existing skillset rather than attempting to teach them new material.  

- They are less productive and have lower performance (can be a burden on the group). Some younger individuals may find it difficult working with the elderly members because they aren’t as much help (i.e slower, forgetful). The organization can focus on giving the elderly employees smaller tasks that are easier to complete. "
