Purpose

The aim of this paper is to examine how new employees and employers can both contribute to “committed action” within employment.

Design/methodology/approach

Outlines ways in which to create the right conditions for equal engagement.

Findings

There is no foolproof formula for achieving inter‐generational engagement in the workplace: roughly it is one part recognition, one part intentionality, and one part commitment to challenging the status quo. By first recognizing what matters to people (whether young or old), then integrating their answers into the organization's overall strategy and human resource design, and finally by being unsatisfied with stagnation, the feeling of engagement can take root and new, improved ways of thinking and doing can blossom.

Originality/value

The paper provides useful information on encouraging individuals to be wholly committed to action.
