Episode 8: Generation Nation – What do millennials know anyway?
Another opportunity to be face to face with Kristen proudly wearing a half grown moustache – more on that below – for an episode of The Spin talking about generations.
Inspired by an October NYT article, we explored the five different generations in the workplace including:
- Traditionalists or Silent Generation - 1945 and before
- Baby Boomers - 1946-1964
- Generation X - 1965-1976
- Millennials or Gen Y - 1977-1995
- Generation Z or iGen or Centennials - 1996-now
With Mark being a proud Gen X (or is that an Z?) and Kristen just getting in there as a millennial, we shared our experiences that have informed (or misinformed) the generational labels.
We also shared some take aways for organizations:
- Ensure you can use the labels to inform an attraction strategy
- If you’re leading a team find the commonalities rather than extenuating the differences
- Encourage team members to treat everyone as individuals
- Consider having an impact statement
And for individuals we encouraged building awareness and challenging assumptions of others.
