Designing employee experiences for five generations
In this episode of Inside the Brand Experience, Invision’s SVP Strategic Solutions, Jon Paul Potts, sits down with CultureCon co-founder Zach Blumenfeld to explore the evolving landscape of employee experience. With five generations now working side by side—from Boomers to Gen Alpha—the conversation unpacks how organizations can move beyond surface-level “engagement” to design meaningful, multi-channel experiences. They discuss the traps of generational stereotypes, the rise of hybrid as a “product,” and the importance of linking employee experience directly to business outcomes. Along the way, they share practical examples, from two-way mentorship to AI demo days, that help companies build stronger connections, trust, and purpose across their workforce.
Key Takeaways:
· Design for experience, not announcements: move beyond emails and one-way messages to multi-path, immersive experiences that employees can truly connect with.
· Generational insights are a starting point: focus on life stages and shared human needs, not stereotypes.
· Hybrid and mentorship are growth levers: treat hybrid like a designed product and foster two-way mentoring across generations to drive trust, learning, and innovation.
