Multi-Generational Workforce

Age is much more than a number - with each generation, distinct events, circumstances and other influences impact work behavior, expectations, values and attitudes. The workplace often brings these differences into sharp focus, and today’s workforce has more generations working together than ever before. With so many generations represented, the potential for conflict and confusion is a major challenge for leaders and their teams.
