For the first time in the history of the United States, we have four distinct generations --Traditionalist, Baby Boomer, Generation X and Millennial -- working side by side in the workplace. Each generation views work ethic, leadership, relationships and success differently. With a turbulent labor market and the need to retain an experienced workforce, we must become more diverse in order to attract the best people into our organizations.
We will discuss the myths and facts of each generation, the steps required to prepare your workforce to become multi-generational and the five commandments of generationally friendly employers. With the workforce soon to be dominated by Gen-Xer’s and Millennials, we will also explore managing and retaining this unique group.
