This research examines how this gap creates organizational risks, such as increased technostress, skill obsolescence, and the potential loss of critical institutional knowledge. To mitigate these issues, the research highlights reverse mentoring as a powerful strategy where junior staff guide senior colleagues through digital transitions. Successful implementation requires age-inclusive training and a cultural shift that treats intergenerational collaboration as a strategic asset rather than a remedial necessity. By fostering reciprocal learning, companies can combine the digital fluency of youth with the strategic wisdom of veterans to build more resilient workforces. These findings suggest that overcoming age-related stereotypes is essential for maintaining a competitive advantage in an era of constant technological disruption.
