Diversity not just in terms of gender and ethnicity\, but also in the sense of generational norms\, attitudes and work styles is changing the way we recruit\, retain\, and manage employees.\n\n \n\nToday's workplace requires relating to and engaging different generations whose upbringing has influenced their interpersonal communication styles\, work habits\, and motivation. Understanding and being sensitive to generational differences can promote or inhibit employee engagement. \n\n \n\nWhy is understanding generational differences important? \n\n A Society of Human Resource Management survey reports that 72% of respondents said inter-generational conflict is an issue at work. \n Greater variation of age groups in a workplace can lower engagement.\n Hiring and training new employees is expensive and time-consuming.\n Managing employees effectively is an investment in your people\, their skills and experience in your organization.\n\n \n\nJoin Elijah Ridley of Express Employment Professionals - Rockwood to learn how to engage employees based upon their unique generational preferences\, and how your organization can achieve even greater success and harmony as you welcome even more generations into your workplace.
