Written by a team of cross-generational authors, Generations at Work supplies insights and practical solutions for understanding differences, resolving conflicts, and managing effectively in today's age-diverse workplace. The book profiles four distinct generations: the Veterans (b. 1922-1943); Baby Boomers (b. 1943-1960); Gen Xers (b.1960-1980); and Nexters (b.1980-). The authors examine the demographics of each group, the events that shaped their lives and times, their predominant traits and work styles, and key messages to keep in mind when recruiting, developing, and motivating them as part of your workforce. They also provide a behind-the-scenes look at five major companies that, in the authors' views, make intergenerational mixing work.
