Every Generation Matters: Why Building Multi-Generational Teams is the Future of Work
Employee Engagement Lindsay Boccardo Oct 08, 2020
Generations misunderstanding each other is not a new problem. In fact, every generation thinks the one that comes after them is less competent, more entitled, or harder to work with. The good news is that no one generation is broken. No single generation of employees is in the wrong. Maslow’s famous hierarchy tells us all humans have the same internal drivers—but we’re realizing now that our needs manifest themselves differently depending on the year someone was born. According to a 2019 study, multi-generational teams with a range of 25 years or more from youngest to oldest meet or exceed expectations 73% of the time. Those with a narrow range of less than 10 years did so only 35% of the time. The future of work is truly about inclusion. Leadership acumen is measured by a person’s ability to transform diverse groups of humans into cohesive, effective, and compassionate teams. In this interactive session, Lindsay will guide a conversation about generational differences over the five decades of employees in today’s workforce. Together, attendees will examine experiences they had growing up and how those experiences directly affect their relationships at work.
