The Five Generation Workplace

BBC World Service - In the Balance, The Five Generation Workplace

The challenges of managing five generations at work

How to manage the multigenerational workforce

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?
