Every Company should be committed to inclusion where all employees, focused on respect, trust, integrity and pride, are aligned to ensure business objectives are realized and community expectations-- where we live, work and serve-- are exceeded.
A few examples of what shaped the four generations are:
Matures (Pre-1945)
*WWII
Baby Boom (1946-1963)
*Women working outside the home
*US is dominant nation/economy in the world-world is safe
Generation "X" (1964-1976)
* Latchkey kids with both parents working
*Watergate, Rise of Asia/"Fall" of US might, Cold War
Generation "Y" (1977-1999)
*90's boom, involved parents, Technology is part of our life, 9/11, global terrorism
*"spoiled" by cheap technology and indulgent parents
Baby Boomers make up 45% of the workforce to date, Gen "X" make up 30%, Gen "Y" make up 20% and the Matures make up 5%!
