Leading A Multi-Generational Workforce

You will be guided through a brief analysis of what motivates each generation in today’s workforce, from Baby Boomers, to Generation X, to Millenials. Each generation has its unique mindset, work style, and ways of communication. Mastering ways to motivate team members individually will enable managers to capitalize on the strengths that each member brings to the team.

Dale Carnegie Employee Engagement Study shows that “middle-aged employees (40–49 years) are less engaged or are disengaged with their organization.” Conversely, the study found that “young employees (around age of 30) and those age 50+ are more engaged.” At least 66% of the employees are not fully engaged, and that needs to be addressed!

Understanding ways to motivate your multi-generational team members will create a more cohesive, productive, and happy workplace. Happy team members bring positive results. And that translates to an improved bottom line!
