Generations in the workplace

For one of the first times in the modern workforce, four generations—Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z—are working side by side in rapidly evolving environments.¹ This overlap is shaped by longer lifespans, delayed retirement², and younger generations entering the workforce earlier³.

Understanding how each generation navigates its career is critical for organizations. By attracting and supporting talent across all age groups, companies can meet the diverse needs and motivations of a multigenerational workforce. This approach drives innovation, enhances profitability,⁴ and can help mitigate talent shortages⁵ while improving retention.⁶
