For the first time in US history four generations are represented in the workplace. Much attention has been given to the millennial generation, but for companies to be successful today, leaders need to understand and focus on the interplay of all four generations and how this impacts communication and the creation of effective teams. This session will describe all four generations in the workplace (Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y) while exploring the social and environmental factors that have created certain generational characteristics. We will also explore the generational differences in professional identity, work-life balance, and communication styles that can lead to conflict and discordance in the workplace while discussing how an understanding these factors can help create more effective and efficient teams.
