Five generations, one workforce.
What is the greatest people change in the world? It is the changing demographic of age! Today, people age 65 and above comprise the world’s fastest-growing age group. According to the United Nations, in 2018 older persons outnumbered children under the age of five. Other research indicates that during this period of The Great Resignation, the population in America has virtually flat-lined.
What are the implications to the current workforce of five generations: The Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z? Join us to explore the culture, talents, expectations, and benefits of creating cross-generational teams.
