In a historic first, we have five generations co-mingling at work: veterans or traditionalists, baby boomers, Gen Xers, millennials and Gen Z
Many workplaces today have five generations of workers, but are we letting our stereotypical notions of the cohorts get in the way of leveraging the strengths of each?
And since Canada did away with mandatory retirement, more and more people are continuing to work for economic or social reasons. Not everyone’s working for a traditional paycheck, though. Some are customers, others serve on boards or volunteer, but regardless, we are all circling one another in this shared space, says Ms. McIvor.
And, there are three core patterns that emerge from the imprints: a generation’s approach to life; work credo or work philosophy and the generation’s most important need to be filled at work. For instance, Ms. McAteer says even though she would prefer to work from the office, she accepts others may not want to do so. During week-long business trips, Ms. McAteer says her routine would be to grab either beer or dinner with her colleagues after work, and then retire to her room and continue working for a couple of more hours. Her younger colleagues, on the other hand, prefer a more structured 9 – 5 hours, and unwind from work by taking part in leisure activities.
