Turning Generational Differences into Opportunities for Workplace Collaboration Through Psychology Enhancement Executive Program by BM Class

Jakarta, October 28, 2026 — Universitas Bunda Mulia, through a collaboration between the Alumni Career Center and BM Class, held an Enhancement Executive Program Workshop titled “Bridging the Generational Gap: Solving Workplace Conflicts Between Gen Z and Millennials” on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM (WIB) via Zoom. The workshop was attended by students and external participants from diverse professional backgrounds who sought to better understand intergenerational workplace dynamics and develop more effective communication and collaboration practices.

The workshop was led by Marchelina Febe, S.Psi., M.Si., an HR practitioner and Psychology lecturer at Universitas Bunda Mulia with expertise in career development, training, and mental health. The session covered four key topics: understanding the characteristics and differences between generations, identifying situations in which generational differences can trigger conflict, examining a case study comparing Gen Z and Millennials, and exploring strategies for building cross-generational collaboration. Through case studies and interactive discussions, participants were encouraged to connect the concepts presented with real-life situations in professional settings.

The workshop ran smoothly, with materials that were relevant to participants’ experiences and the challenges they encounter in the workplace. The approach helped participants recognize that differences in communication styles, work habits, and perspectives across generations do not necessarily lead to conflict. Instead, these differences can create opportunities for mutual understanding and complementary collaboration.

Through this initiative, Universitas Bunda Mulia hopes to help participants strengthen their interpersonal communication skills, manage potential conflicts constructively, and foster a more inclusive and collaborative work environment.
