From
Collision to Collaboration
Carolyn A. Martin, Ph.D. , Bruce Tulgan
No doubt about it: The newest diversity
issue in the workplace is age diversity. Many organizations
have finally figured out how to recruit young talent only
to watch them drive down a collision course with seasoned
employees over issues like work ethic, respect for authority,
dress code and every work arrangement imaginable. And
they're not sure what to do about it. The fact is, generational
conflicts are not merely a matter of young versus old.
They mirror critical business issues every organization
faces as it transitions from the workplace of the past
to that of the future. Managing the Generation Mix will
help you place your multi-generational team on the course
to collaboration. |
