Generation Coffee
Decades of experience meet fresh digital perspectives. Generation Coffee brings older and younger employees into regular conversation before valuable knowledge leaves the company.
Sign Up & Create Profile
Employees register with their company email or via SSO, select location, department, and team – and decide which formats they'd like to participate in (e.g., lunch or virtual coffee break).
Build Bridges Between Generations
Workdate strategically matches experienced employees with younger colleagues – automatically, across department boundaries, and in ever-changing constellations.
Knowledge Flows in Both Directions
Experience meets digital expertise. In informal conversations, both sides exchange knowledge – without a formal framework, on equal footing, and with real value for both.
Measure Impact
HR can see how active cross-generational exchange is, which topics are discussed, and how mutual understanding develops.
- Critical knowledge and expertise stays in the company
- Fewer prejudices between generations
- Knowledge transfer in both directions – experience meets digital
- Faster onboarding of successors
- Stronger cohesion across generational boundaries
Generation Coffee
Informal conversations between experienced and younger colleagues – over coffee, lunch, or virtually. Low barrier to entry and enriching for both sides.
Reverse Mentoring
Younger employees share knowledge about digital tools, AI, or new working methods with experienced colleagues.
Succession Tandems
Targeted connection of knowledge holders with their successors – for a structured transition that goes beyond technical handover.
Experience Knowledge Sessions
Experienced colleagues share implicit knowledge – the shortcuts, contacts, and unwritten rules that aren't in any handbook.
