In some UK workplaces, you can now find four generations working side by side. With many people continuing to work into their 70s, some organisations have five different generations within their employment.
The main four generations are as follows:
- Baby Boomers: born 1946 – 1964
- Generation X: born 1965 – 1980
- Millennials: born 1981 – 1996
- Generation Z: born 1997 – 2012
Research suggests that each generation has varying work ethics and characteristics and expects something different from their employer.
In this blog, we take a look at: the generations explored, mentoring, cross-generation financial employee benefits, and bridging the generational divide with Sodexo Engage.
