Managing the Multi-Generational Workforce - Warehousing professionals should consider the many benefits of mentoring

摘要

Today, for what may be the first time ever, there are four distinct generations in the workplace (Matures, Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennial). Savvy organizations are using this multi-generational workforce as a competitive advantage in terms of offering flexibility, establishing a well rounded group of associates with a variety of experience and skill sets, and providing new avenues for problem-solving. They're finding that interaction among the generations encourages innovative approaches and perspectives to improve productivity, safety and morale. However, some companies are being challenged by a multi-generation workforce. There's concern over tension among the generations because of their different experiences, values, expectations, work habits and communication styles.
