In today’s workplaces, multigenerational challenges and conflicts are all too common. In addition, many companies are also in a state of generational flux as the median employee age at most companies is rapidly dropping and throngs of baby boomers are now eligible and potentially gearing up for retirement. According to an April 2016 Pew Research Center article, “Millennials have surpassed Baby Boomers as the nation’s largest living generation, according to population estimates released this month by the U.S. Census Bureau. Millennials, whom we define as those ages 18-34 in 2015, now number 75.4 million, surpassing the 74.9 million Baby Boomers (ages 51-69). And Generation X (ages 35-50 in 2015) is projected to pass the Boomers in population by 2028.”
