Four key questions about employing four generations
The paper explores generational differences through the lens of the Four Stages research and is the first of a number of research-based papers that will culminate in a book on the research in late 2009.
The findings of this article provide organizations with a unique perspective on a topic of increasing importance; how to effectively manage the multi-generational workforce. Rather than simply identifying the differences between the 4 generations, we explore the contributions of each generation and provide ideas on how organizations can most effectively deal with issues such as job hopping, competing demands from different generations, and developing Generation Y employees.
At over seventy million strong, the arrival of Generation Y has transformed the workplace. Consequently, organizational leaders already challenged by an unparalleled level of employee diversity must now find ways to develop a workforce that also spans four generations.
