Episode Overview:

As younger generations come of age, older individuals are opting to work longer. While multigenerational workforces present some challenges to employers, they’re arguably more productive and have less turnover than those without generational diversity.

“Leaders need to look at the multigenerational workforce as a benefit rather than a challenge.” From a tactical standpoint, once you have the mindset that it’s a benefit, you pave the way for healthy discourse, diversity in opinions, and for richness in dialogue.

What types of obstacles does having five generations in today’s workforce present? And how can organizations overcome those challenges?

To help you understand different skills and strategies, and challenges of managing a multi-generational workforce and what you can do to overcome them is my guest…Kit Welchlin.
