Those are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Baby Boomers &#8211; born roughly between 1946-1964 Boomers are now between the ages of 58-76<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gen X &#8211; born roughly between 1965-1980 Gen Xers are now between the ages of 43-58<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Millennials &#8211; born roughly between 1981-2000 Millennials are now between the ages of 23-42<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gen Z &#8211; born roughly between 1996-2012 Gen Zers are now between the ages of 11-27<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While you\u2019re bound to have a mix of age groups in your workforce, you might find your team leaning more towards one generation. If that\u2019s the case, it could be even more important to ensure you\u2019re not alienating any of your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is it important to learn about managing multigenerational teams?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a danger that generational stereotypes become a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts, especially if the needs of your team are not addressed. A simple Google search will reveal the predetermined thoughts towards certain generations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"590\" height=\"697\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-14-at-14.33.52.png\" alt=\"A Google search for the term &quot;boomers&quot;\" class=\"wp-image-15111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-14-at-14.33.52.png 590w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-14-at-14.33.52-254x300.png 254w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Screenshot-2023-04-14-at-14.33.52-330x390.png 330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important these discriminatory stereotypes don\u2019t come into play within your team. Multigenerational workforce management is all about celebrating the experience and expertise you have across all your people and supporting them equally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How generational differences are impacting the workplace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Young-People-At-Work-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15109\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Young-People-At-Work-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Young-People-At-Work-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Young-People-At-Work-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Young-People-At-Work-1-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Young-People-At-Work-1-440x248.png 440w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Young-People-At-Work-1.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand workplace impact better, let\u2019s dive into commonly held beliefs and some of the research on this topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baby Boomers in the workplace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Boomers are likely the oldest generation in your workforce. Those who are still working will be getting towards retirement age, or will be thinking about retirement &#8211; some will now have over 50 years of work experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They were the generation that keyed the term \u201cworkaholic\u201d as they\u2019re considered hard workers by nature. Highly competitive and valuing workplace visibility &#8211; they traditionally prefer office-based work. Fiercely loyal, it\u2019s not uncommon for Boomers to have only had one or two jobs their entire working career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s more challenging to find data on what attracts Boomers to their desired place of work, but we do know that they\u2019re working a lot later in their lives than their parents did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Generation X in the workplace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gen X, otherwise deemed the \u201clost generation\u201d or \u201clatchkey generation\u201d have witnessed some of the world&#8217;s greatest technological advancements. They\u2019re also considered to be the first generation to start the conversation around work-life balance (a quality often associated with both Millennials and Gen Z).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to DDI\u2019s 2022 Global Leadership Forecast, Gen Xers hold over 50% of all leadership roles. And they keep expanding their footprint as managers. They\u2019re deemed naturally autonomous and independent. However, there is also a belief that Gen X are quite cynical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zety.com\/blog\/generation-x-in-the-workplace\">Studies have also found that<\/a> when looking for an ideal role:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>28% look for a strong work-life balance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>26% want an open and honest work environment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>23% are interested in professional development and collaboration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These are all characteristics we see resonate over every generational group. The same study also found that 71% of Gen X respondents wanted their work to be meaningful while 84% wanted job satisfaction from their day to day. This puts to rest the commonly held perception that they work for money and come home to switch off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Millennials in the workplace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>MIllennials got a lot of stick \u2013 until Gen Z came along that is. Stick for being the \u201ceverybody wins\u201d generation, narcissistic and self-entitled. However, they\u2019re also considered pragmatic, determined and perhaps a smidge idealistic. They are early adopters of technology and look for the same adoption in their places of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now, Millennials account for the largest section of the global workforce, with projections using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/millennials-75-workforce-2025-ever-anita-lettink\/\">UN data<\/a> showing that in 2020 they were accountable for 41% of it. They look to be the largest section of the workforce into the future, with the same data showing they\u2019ll represent 39% in 2025 and 37% in 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deloitte.com\/global\/en\/issues\/work\/genzmillennialsurvey.html\">A Deloitte study<\/a> tells us when Millennials are searching for a job:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>39% look for a good work-life balance offering<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>29% look for learning and development opportunities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>27% are interested in high salaries and benefits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>26% want their work to be meaningful<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Millenials largest impact on their workplaces have been finding new ways to openly communicate with their teams, emphasising and getting behind company culture and redesigning the way workplaces operate efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gen Z in the workplace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Generation Z are the youngest, most <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/diversity-inclusion-handbook\/\">diverse<\/a> and most well-educated workers to ever enter the talent pool. We recently <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/gen-z-in-the-workplace-report\/\">ran a study on Gen Z in the workplace<\/a>, and their approach to work builds on some of the qualities we see in Millennials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re currently quite fickle in their approach to work, with the older amongst them finding more job satisfaction. In 2020, 30% of Gen Zers were looking for new work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their main drivers are work-life balance, a positive culture and convenience. Issues can arise with their employers when there are misaligned on expectations around money, job flexibility or support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re incredibly entrepreneurial and often opt to start their own business, or freelance in order to have their needs met. Being the most well-educated generation, they\u2019re a savvy bunch looking for investment within a strong culture that promotes self-care, health and wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some other statistics to consider are that 68% of Gen Z (at the time of our survey) were living at home, with only 16% of them in full-time work and 19% of them having never worked previously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also found that 75% of the generation were planning to leave their job within the next two years, and that 49% wanted out within a year, the main reason for the move being to develop their growth and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So unlike previous generations, they aren\u2019t feeling as though loyalty to one company is going to take them to their career goals. They\u2019re looking for a future where the world of work is more relaxed, creative and technology-embracing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the benefits of multigenerational teams?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We go into a little more detail about these teams in the guide, but the main benefits are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Innovation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Talent pipeline<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Different perspectives<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are some common challenges of managing a multigenerational workforce?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Boomer-At-Work-1024x576.png\" alt=\"An older man talking on his phone while working\" class=\"wp-image-15108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Boomer-At-Work-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Boomer-At-Work-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Boomer-At-Work-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Boomer-At-Work-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Boomer-At-Work-440x248.png 440w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Boomer-At-Work.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ageism alongside different working and communication styles are the most common issues you\u2019ll encounter when working with a multigenerational team.

Not only can you see how your staff are feeling, but you can also collect specific feedback around how they engage with their peers, management and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting a real insight into your workforce allows you to make the right interventions where needed, and reward and recognise great collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1:1s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can create and manage 1:1s with your staff, sending them questions ahead of time to make sure that you make the most of your time together.
