An extended presentation on generational diversity at work (also called multi-generational work teams). The goals were to provide an understanding of the generations with special emphasis on their work paths and styles. The four generations include Civics (also called Traditionalists, The Greatest Generation), Baby Boomers, Generation X (Gen Xers) and Millennial (also called Gen Y, Generation Next).
