Answer 1

Answer:

Strategy for human resource system for knowledge transfer from one generation to other:

Creating a friendly environment in the company:

Rather than following the vertical hierarchical structure that creates a huge distance between the superior and the subordinates, company should foster the friendly and horizontal organisational structure. This will help the subordinates in acquiring the knowledge from their superior and hence, a knowledge sharing culture will be generated in the organisation.

Assigning the newly recruited employee as an assistant to the superior:

The newly recruited employees should be placed as an assistant to the experienced old age persons. This will make the complex task of the superiors simpler and would help assistants in acquiring the knowledge from the superiors.

Delegating tasks to the new recruits that require training from the superiors while being working on the task will help new recruits to gain the knowledge from the superiors.

Arranging recreational activities along with the superiors will also help in gaining the knowledge from superiors in the informal format.
