4 Generations in the Workplace

The sounds of generations in conflict are heard around the water cooler, across the cafeteria table, at the coffee bar, and on e-mail whine boards. With 4 generations converging upon one place, everyone needs to be equipped with practical ways to deal with all the differences. This is truly one of the most unique times in the history of the American workforce. Understand the 4 generations in the workplace today – each at different life stages, each with conflicting perspectives, expectations, and needs.
