Confused about Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z? And, do you even care? 🤔 As a business owner, you should be aware of generational cohorts. Here’s why… Generational cohorts are groups of people based on a person’s birth year. And they seem to be talked about way more than they ever have been before… Maybe because the world’s use of technology has sky rocketed in the last 10 years and cohorts like this are really important to big companies like Google and Meta. Why? Because different generations behave, think and feel in different ways. This is why generational cohorts are especially important to you too. Or depending on the size of your company something to be aware of. So, what are the different generations out there? 💼📝 Baby Boomers (1947-1964) Are hardworking and value face-to-face communication. Traditionally they’re seen as team players and they’re goal orientated. They’ve got a wealth of life experience so shouldn’t be brushed aside. 💻⚖️ Generation X (1965-1980) Have great work ethic, but they see their jobs as what they do, not who they are. They want a good work/life balance and prefer to work with like-minded people who share these values. 💡🌍 Millennials (1981-2000) Will make up 75% of the workforce by 2025. They want to make a difference and see their job as more than just a way to make money. They want bosses who help them develop, are transparent, and above all, treat them as individuals. 🌱🎯 Generation Z (2001-2020) Have grown up with technology and are used to being constantly entertained, they want a role that will keep them engaged, with great communication, and full transparency. They want a progressive, open-minded environment to grow in. Your team are your greatest asset. Which is why it’s important to understand their drivers.

🌟 How do so many different generations coexist in the workplace? 🌟 The workplace today is a fascinating blend of generations, each bringing their unique perspectives, experiences, and skills. Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z all add incredible value to organizations. Here's why their coexistence is amazing: 1️⃣ Wisdom meets innovation: Baby Boomers have a wealth of knowledge and experience, providing invaluable mentorship and guidance to younger generations. Gen X adds their adaptable and independent mindset, bridging the gap between Boomers and Millennials. 2️⃣ Tech-savvy Millennials: Millennials are digital natives, bringing technological expertise that revolutionizes how work gets done. They embrace emerging trends, challenge traditional practices, and foster collaboration through tech tools. 3️⃣ Diversity of thought: Multiple generational perspectives in the workplace foster creative problem-solving and innovation. Each generation has its own unique approach to work, resulting in transformative ideas and better decision-making. 4️⃣ Gen Z's fresh outlook: The newest generation, Gen Z, adds fresh energy and a passion for making a positive impact. Their natural affinity for entrepreneurship and social responsibility brings new possibilities to businesses. 5️⃣ Continuous learning environment: A multi-generational workforce encourages knowledge sharing and continuous learning. Mentoring programs, reverse mentoring, and cross-generational teams facilitate the transfer of skills and expertise. 6️⃣ Increased adaptability: The coexistence of generations cultivates adaptability in the workplace. Each generation learns from one another, helping organizations navigate change, stay relevant, and thrive in a dynamic business landscape. 🌐 Embracing the coexistence of different generations in the workplace is a recipe for success. It creates a vibrant environment that values diverse perspectives, fosters innovation, and encourages personal and professional growth for everyone involved. Let's celebrate the invaluable contributions that each generation brings! 💪🏼✨ #societyandculture #millennialgeneration #culturesandcommunities

Millennials are already making up the largest percentage of the global workforce, and by 2030 Gen Z will represent a third. Although there is some conjecture about the exact years of Gen Alpha, it won't be long before they also enter the workforce leading to the possibility of 5 generations working together. It's already a unique time in workplaces with potentially 4 generations working together each offering unique perspectives, bringing varied experience and #DiversityOfThought. But, are you already having trouble understanding the different generations? Ngl navigating the different generational lingo in the workplace can be tricky. Fear not as there is a universal language that can break down these barriers - the language of strengths! Imagine a workplace where Baby Boomers, (the often forgotten) Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z and even Gen Alpha can connect effortlessly. By focusing on each individual's strengths, we build a bridge of understanding that spans across generations. Embracing strengths-based communication allows us to appreciate diverse perspectives and skills, whether it's the tech-savviness of Gen Z or the experience of Baby Boomers. Let's celebrate what each generation brings to the table. By valuing strengths over stereotypes, we can collaborate, learn from each other, and create a workplace where everyone shines. ✨ To find out how we can help your workplace speak the universal language of strengths, book a free demo with us here https://buff.ly/3W4DczC #PlayToYourStrengths #PositivePsychology #GenerationalDiversity #EveryoneMatters

You’ve probably read plenty of articles on Millennials and their work ethic. More recently, the blame of entitlement and laziness has gotten pointed toward Gen Z as well. And sure, people like that exist in the world. They exist among Gen Xers and Boomers too. They’re everywhere. What I’m saying is, Millennials and Gen Z have gotten a reputation they don’t deserve. In my experience, they are anything but slackers. They’re some of the most hardworking individuals, and they’re willing to prove themselves—perhaps exactly because of their reputation. If you are ever on the fence about hiring these generations, let me share some of the top reasons why you should: In addition to being hardworking, they’re honest about how they spend their time. Sure, they might leave at 5 pm on the nose, but it’s because they got through all of their tasks. They’re efficient so that they can still have their lives outside of work. Speaking of, they lead very vibrant lives and embrace a lot of hobbies. About 47% of millennials and 40% of Gen Z want to have money to put toward their passions, compared to 32% of Gen X and 20% of Boomers. This means they might have interesting viewpoints and ideas to bring to the table. They’re very well educated. They’re creative and strategic thinkers, who have the added bonus of understanding technology. This is only going to get more important. And finally, they know the lingo, because I sure can’t tell you what “yeet” or “IYKYK” means, or why they keep calling me a goat (no cap). I definitely need a consult first. So, what are your thoughts on Millennials/Gen Z? #millennials #genz #work #culture #recruitment

If you’ve ever found yourself scratching your head over the difference between Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z, and wondering if it matters, I’m here to suggest that it does. As a business owner, understanding generational cohorts, and the positive impact of generational diversity, is good for business. Generational cohorts are groups of people based on a person’s birth year. They’ve become increasingly relevant in today’s professional landscape, because of the way each generation has its unique set of behaviours, thoughts and values. Plus, how they engage with each other. Take a moment also to consider the impact of technology, and how different generations use it and communicate with each other through it. Here’s a quick rundown… Baby Boomers (1947-1964) Typically known for being hardworking and valuing face-to-face communication, with a wealth of life experience. Generation X (1965-1980) Possess a great work ethic but seek work/life balance and people who share these values. Millennials (1981-2000) Want to make a difference, viewing their job as more than just salary, but need personal development in return. Generation Z (2001-2020) Want constant entertainment and a progressive environment to grow in, having always had tech by their side. Generation Alpha (2021 - ...) In 2026 Generation Alpha will enter the workplace. They may not be very different to Gen Z in their ways but be sure they'll bring their own je ne sais quoi to the table. Fascinating, isn’t it? People are your greatest asset and if you get to know their motivations you could unlock their full potential.

“Lazy gen-z, entitled and self-centred Millennials, slow gen-x and conservative Boomers." 🙄 Well, I'm here to say NO! 🙅♂️ I hate these stereotypes with a passion. They're not only inaccurate but also harmful to the way we view and interact with colleagues. The truth is, every generation has something unique and valuable to bring to the table. 🎉 I firmly believe that having a diverse workforce is the key to driving innovation and success. When you bring together people from different generations, backgrounds and experiences, magic happens! 🌟 You get a melting pot of ideas, perspectives and skills that can take your business to new heights. Think about it this way: Gen Z may bring fresh perspectives and a digital-native approach, while Millennials offer a blend of creativity and adaptability. Gen X? They've got the perfect balance of experience and openness to change. And let's not forget about Baby Boomers, who bring a wealth of knowledge and a strong work ethic to the table. The point is that when we focus on stereotypes, we limit ourselves and our businesses. We miss out on the incredible potential of embracing diversity and a culture of inclusivity. 🤗 So, my advice? Ditch the stereotypes and start celebrating the unique strengths of each generation. Create a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected and empowered to contribute their best. Trust me, your business (and your employees) will thank you for it! 😊 How do you feel about these stereotypes? Do you think they’re harmful? Because I most definitely do. #Culture #Diversity #Business #Engineering

Generational Clash: Millennials, Boomers, and Gen Z Walk into a Workplace... Who's Steering the Ship? I stumbled upon in a Thai online forum! It's all about the fascinating intersection of geopolitics in Thailand and the evolving landscape of global values. Picture this: amidst these shifts, there's a group of seasoned employees who are quite resistant to change. So, what exactly are "values," you ask? Well, think of them as the guiding principles that shape our behaviours and decisions. They can be a mixed bag – some good, some not so much. For instance, valuing hard work is great, but overdoing it might not be. And what about the value of loyalty to your peers? Is it always a positive? It's a complex puzzle, really. Now, where do these values come from? For many of us, they're deeply rooted in our upbringing, culture, and education. Take Thailand, for example. We've got these traditional values ingrained in us from a young age, e.g. respecting our elders and cherishing our cultural heritage. But here's the kicker: with the rise of Gen Z, there's a whole new set of values in town. They're all about equality, individualism, and freedom, marching to the beat of a different drum than us millennials and baby boomers. Now, imagine you're the bridge between these two worlds – managing a team where generations collide. How do you keep the peace and ensure productivity doesn't take a nosedive? It's all about finding that sweet spot. You've to be a master negotiator, navigating the waters between the old guard and the new wave. And , don't worry – your human touch is something AI can't replicate (at least not yet!). So, what's the secret sauce 🤔 ? In my opinion me, the practical and do-able approach can be "crafting a shared vision" that speaks to everyone's values while keeping the company's goals in mind. One of the useful tools "design thinking" – a creative approach to problem-solving that brings people together to brainstorm, collaborate, and find common ground. By fostering open dialogue and understanding, you can pave the way for a harmonious workplace where both seasoned pros and fresh-faced rookies thrive. In the end, it's not just about hitting those KPIs – it's about building a culture where everyone feels heard, valued, and empowered to bring their best to the table. And hey, if we can crack this code, who knows? Maybe we'll be the ones leading the charge into a brighter, more inclusive future. Cheers to that!

Millennials set too many boundaries and are selfish commitmentphobes, Gen Z doesn't want to work and is overdosing on tech, while Gen Xers are slackers resistant to change... These are some of the common stereotypes thrown onto each group. We are part of a historic period when four generations, including Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z, are working together. Why consider each group that monolithic? Especially the younger ones often feel unfairly judged or misrepresented because of how their generation is labeled. Misperception may lead to miscommunication and easily turn into conflict at work. #generationaldifferences #talentmanagement #wellnessatwork https://lnkd.in/dVZCph83
