Working with Generational Differences
There are many benefits of a multigenerational workforce. There can be “generational gap” challenges as well. The “generational gap” in the workplace is, broadly speaking, the difference in behavior and outlook between groups of people who were born at various times. “Generation gaps” at work mean more effort is needed to cultivate an environment that respects each generation’s perspective and way of life.
