Millennials Overtaking Boomers - Considerations for Today's Workplace

Today's workforce has become increasingly diverse in so many ways. And now, the Pew Research Center has released a report that projects that - for the first time, later this year - the number of Millennials in the workplace will overtake the number of Baby Boomers. This trend has employers trying to engage their organizations to become more effective, as they deal with the challenges to communicate and manage the growing generation gap of more than 50 years between the oldest employees (Baby Boomers and a smaller group of Traditionalists) and their youngest employees (Generation Z).

As business organizations grapple with how to best lead and manage effectively across these generations, senior executives are meeting with human resource management to discuss how their companies can continue to achieve their full organizational potential, while providing the leadership, communication and motivational messages that maximize productivity, collaboration and job satisfaction for all.

Multi-Generational Training Solutions

An increasing number of forward thinking employers are responding to this issue by developing strategies to leverage the values and skills that each generation can contribute to grow their business and maintain a smooth running operation. It has become a central focus for these employers to build bridges between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Baby Boomers and the Veteran Generation, and apply new strategies to engage them in new and innovative ways.

At Strategic Training Solutions, we are seeing increasing demand to develop workshops and training programs to address this issue. According to STS President Laura McNerney, "We are hearing from a growing number of organizations who are interested in developing a strategy to help workers communicate better across generations in this new environment. Business leaders need to recognize the opportunities and issues, and become catalysts for change, as they keep their teams aligned towards common goals. It's a real opportunity to realize the total value of multi-gen worker contributions."

To help organizations enhance workplace communication and productivity across generational boundaries and assist managers in their efforts to engage team members across multi-generations, STS has been working with area employers to develop Working Across a Multi-Gen Workplace, a workshop designed to enhance productivity and improve communication across the entire organization.
