Working with and Managing Multiple generationsEvelyn Neale
We are now working in environments with a mix of 5 or more generations making for dynamic workplaces. Learn the generational characteristics and what motivates them. How to resolve conflicts and create an innovative and positive working environment.
Today’s economic situation may have leveled the playing field in terms of the impact rising unemployment is having across all the generations, however, this does not diminish the fact that each generation brings its own unique way of dealing with the world and its ever changing terrain. This manifesto addresses the uniqueness and similarities of the four generations known as the: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials with regards to workplace teams.
This is a presentation I did for a group of 15 supervisors.
It is an interactive training session which requires an experienced facilitator. It is a great way to present generational differences using input from the group you are training. You can send the survey to participants in advance and add your company's demographics to the presentation to make it even more effective

“Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.”
– George Orwell
“There is a problem in the workplace, a problem of values, ambitions, views, mind sets, demographics, and generations in conflict. The workplace we inhabit today is awash with the conflicting voices and views of the most age- and value-diverse workforce the world has known” (Zemke, Raines, & Filipczak, 2013, p. 11). At no time in our history have so many and such different generations with such diversity been asked to work together shoulder to shoulder, side-by-side, cubicle-to-cubicle.
Though today it is not unusual for all of the 4 major generations to be working side by side. Each generation has different views on work ethic, and loyalty to the organization and its culture. Understanding the culture of an organization is a very important aspect in the continuity of leadership. Generational differences equate to differences in workplace characteristics and values of employees. Through experience and research, a key element in leading an organization is to understand and accept the values and beliefs of different generational gaps that make up today’s workplace. Not only is this key as a leader, but also it is crucial to the success of the organization. This research is intended to examine the four generations in the workplace, and research different management styles to be an effective leader in an ever-changing environment.
Generational Differences in the Workplacemiraclecln
Generational differences are perceived in the workplace, according to "Can You Trust Anyone Under Thirty?", a case study in Conrad and Poole's (2012) Strategic Organizational Communication (pp. 14-17). Levenson (2010) counters that perceived differences may not be actual differences, especially when stages of life cycles and environmental factors are considered.

Engaging 5 Generations in the WorkplaceElsa Velasco
For the first time, 5 generations will share workspace. We're talking about Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millenials and Generation Z. Come and explore some tactics to engage each of these generations in a meaningful way.
Navigating Generational Differences in the Professional EnvironmentMeghan Granito
With five generations meeting in the workplace for the first time in history, we are challenged daily to understand the attitudes, values, and demands of our coworkers, customers, and the public in general. Understanding the similarities and differences between the generations, including distinct preferences for how to communicate effectively, is key to successful relationships.
The current generation of young and promising software developers believes, thinks and acts different. They love freedom and flexibility. Unfortunately, on a daily basis they have to cooperate with more traditionally thinking project managers. It's a clear example of a Gen Y versus Gen X conflict. It's the confrontation between two completely differently thinking generations. Will we be able to solve this?

Statement of the Issue/Identifying the Generations
Why They Are Who They Are
MCC Generational Workforce Breakdown
Personal and Lifestyle Characteristics
Workplace Characteristics
Interactive Exercise
Coping/Success Strategies
3. The current workforce is composed of up to five
distinct generations:
1. Traditionals/Veterans
2. Baby Boomers
3. Generation Xers
4. Generation Yers/Millennials
5. Generation Zers/Plurals
To be successful you must relate to each
generation, building cohesive, effective
relationships and teams. To do so, you must
recognize the diverse needs of yourself as well as
those of each group.
4. Traditionalists
Style and preferences clearly affected by WWII.
Grew up in an environment of instability, personal sacrifice and significant
change in the roles of women.
Baby Boomers
Once the largest demographic group, beginning to exit the workforce.
Born into an abundant, healthy economy.
Formative events: Development of the computer, personal computer,
internet and the birth control pill.
Environment where women were able to enter more non traditional roles.
Generation X
Grew up in the shadow of the Baby Boomers and is more focused on
work/life balance.
Formative events: The internet and cellular technology as an integral part of
their life.
Fully networked, utilizing all forms of communication technology to keep
in touch.
5. Generation Y
Heavily influenced by the behavior of their Boomer parents.
Formative events: Introduction of smartphone technology; grew up
with the IPhone and the Blackberry.
Communicate, almost exclusively, through these devices using
Facetime, Skype and texting rather than talking.
Loyalty is to their colleagues - those within their cohort - and they
believe everyone is equal.
Generation Z
Comfortable with technology and social media.
Formative events: Terrorist attacks; the Great Recession of 2008,
acceptance of diversity, and uncertainty of income status.
Communicate, almost exclusively, through social media. Expect a job to
be an expression of their identity. Likely to try out a series of different
jobs or internships in their endeavor to find something they care about,
rather than settling for a stable career that is unfulfilling. Expected to be
be "more entrepreneurial and pragmatic about money"
6. MCC’s current workforce includes members of
each of the five distinct generations in the
following numbers:
1. Traditionals/Veterans - 1
2. Baby Boomers - 66
3. Generation Xers - 145
4. Generation Yers/Millennials - 66
5. Generation Zers/Plurals - 0
Many of you may be the first Gen Z employee in
your future employer

9. Interactive Exercise
Question:
What has been your experience in relating
someone of another generational group?
Were you able to find common ground?
What were benefits? What were challenges?
10. Coping/Success Strategies
Veterans/Boomers
Listen, Don’t Lecture – ask questions with an open mind, compliment, support
Don’t Pretend to Fit In – Be who you are and respect younger employees being who they are.
The two can coexist, happily.
Keep Up With Pop Culture – make sure you are tuned into the present; even if you don’t use
them, know the social media networks and recent news topics
Share Your Expertise – you have great stores of knowledge through experience, share it with
younger employees, the combined result will be the best of both worlds and success for the
team.
Accept the Changing of the Guard – You won’t be in place forever, time waits for no person,
your legacy should be that of a mentor and one who moved things forward
11. Coping/Success Strategies
Gen Xers/Gen Yers
Recognize That The Veterans and Boomers Can See the Big Picture – They have weathered a lot of business
storms and sunny days. Much to be said about long term perspective.
Harvest Their People Skills – They know the value of a phone call, face to face conversation, “Good
Morning,” and personal congratulations. Technology is one thing but people are still people.
Know That They Have Learned How To Work – They can often do so without supervision. Learn some of
their techniques. “Old School” may come in handy in the event of technology breakdowns or hiccups.
They almost always have a back-up plan.
Recognize That They Can Make You Look Good – Give them the respect of being the experts that they are.
Learn from them and let them know you appreciate their willingness to share with you.
If You Are the Manager of Older Workers – Don’t be afraid to show confidence and leadership. Most of
them respond to strong leadership that is decisive but not overbearing.
