The Five Generation Workplace

In the Balance

Available for over a year

Very soon, for the first time in modern history, five generations will be working side by side. Baby boomers, traditionalists, and Generations X, Y and Z. Is it a manager's dream - or a nightmare? Manuela Saragosa and guests ask why millennials are so hard to manage - and how do you keep older workers motivated throughout a career that could last for 50 years? Contributors: Professor Andrew Scott, Deputy Dean at London Business School and co-author of The 100-Year Life Ali Hall, leadership development coach and Associate Fellow of Saïd Business School, Oxford Chip Conley, Modern Elder and former head of global hospitality and strategy at Airbnb
