GlobeSt.com: How have demographics changed at the workplace?
Five generations now work side by side in many workplaces: the “traditional” generation (born pre-1945), Baby Boomers (1946-1964), Generation X (1965-1980), Generation Y (1981-1995), and Generation Z (after 1995). We need to be sensitive to the different skills and attitudes of each generation as well as dramatic technological advancements.
