Introducing the Generations

In days gone by, it was common for just two age groups to be represented in the workplace. There were long-serving, "dyed-in-the-wool" old-timers and ambitious newcomers.

Times have changed, and now you could find yourself working with as many as five generations. Broadly speaking, each one has its own set of preferences, styles, perspectives, and experiences.

This table shows the different age groups that are in the labor force today. It describes their traits and characteristics, and how they are frequently stereotyped.
