How to Approach the Generation Gap in the Workplace
A generation gap is widening in the workplace. As baby boomers (ages 51 to 69 or so) express reluctance about retiring, so-called millennials (roughly ages 18 to 34) have become the single largest demographic in the American labor force. Because of this, more older workers have found themselves being hired and managed by people much younger than they are. For tips to approach the generation gap, check out this recent New York Times article. To learn how to capture Baby Boomer brain-power and wisdom, tap into Gen Xers’ self-reliant attitudes and learn motivational tools that will engage Gen Y, attend the 2015 Annual Convention & Expo in Phoenix. Generation Expert Meagan Johnson will present, "Engage Employees by Zapping the Generation Gap," sponsored by Wella.
