Talent Management Portal - Multigenerational Workforces


It is no surprise that difference generatioanls have different values, attitudes, and lifestyles and thus require some measure of adaptation and intergration into a workplace from both sides. However with a shift from a surplus of workers to a shortage of workers it will create a situation where employers will have to do more of the adapting than they may have been accustomed to in the past.

Add to this the challenge of having four generations in the workplace at the same time, and the job of the supervisor, manager or human resource professional has reached a new level of complexity and importance.

It will become vital that employers learn to understand how to manange each distinct generation, but also the interrelationships of the various groups and individuals. There are four generations representing people from 18 - over 80: The Silents, The Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y (also referred to as the Millenial Generation)
