摘要

As workers progress through early-, mid-, and late-career stages, their goals tend to shift. Scholarly perspectives typically emphasize such differences between members of different career stages. By contrast, I offer a PORTAL (Progression, Off-Loading, Relevance, Teachings, Advice, and Legacy) framework specifying overlooked synergies between these goals. Forworkers of all stages, engaging in these synergies with other-staged workers fulfills respective needs, spurring work engagement, reducing turnover, and ultimately enhancing organizational performance. PORTAL offers symbiotic considerations for related domains of age diversity and generational issues, which also tend to emphasize differences over complementarities. Pragmatically, tomaximizeworker engagement across all career stages, organizations should tailor practices toward utilizing these symbioses.
