Abstract:: The workforce is becoming increasingly multigenerational, so a company's future success will depend on engaging and communicating effectively with a demographically diverse workforce. Today, it is common to find four distinct generations working together: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y. While any discussion of generational differences is going to be a broad snapshot, it is worthwhile to examine these differences to get a general sense of how attitudes toward work have formed and what motivates performance. In general, each generation has a collective memory and a unique set of values and beliefs, largely shaped by events and trends that transpired during the groups' formative years. Each generation has different workplace behaviors, which are an outgrowth of their shared experiences, so a one-size-fits-all approach to communication in the multigenerational workplace will fail.
