Did you know?
Challenge 1 - Diversity
Age has become the largest diversity issue in the US, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit.
Challenge 2 - Productivity Loss
Studies show that unaddressed resentment between Baby Boomers, Gen X, and Millennials saps productivity by as much as 12%.
Challenge 3 - Turnover Costs
By 2025, Millennials will make up 75% of the workforce. Only 18% of Millennials plan on staying with their current organization over the long term. According to Gallup, Millennial turnover is costing the US economy over $30 billion/year.
The solution
Three factors emerged through our study and analysis of generational research. We identified the needs of each generation in the workplace and connected those needs to the research on high-performing, constructive cultures. What we found were three factors that are essential for all generations and are foundational in a flourishing workplace – Fearless, Friendly and Focused.
FEARLESS – I am willing to speak up, ask a question, make a mistake, present an idea or take a risk because I believe that I will not be punished or humiliated.
FRIENDLY – I believe I belong here because I know I am valued, cared about and accepted.
FOCUSED – I know how what I do every day contributes to this organization and something bigger than myself.
IN THIS BOOK – You will discover how each generation views leadership, what growth means for them, and some of the gifts they can each bring to your team. We will show how different expectations (or conflicting ideas on how things should be done) that each generation carries can create culture clashes resulting in generational bias.
We will offer an approach to developing a culture that can help you capitalize on the brilliance of your multi-generational team and where all generations can flourish.
