DIFFERENT GENERATIONS IN WORK PLACES 1Effects of Different Generations in a Work Place
As the years pass, there are many generations in the workplace. Each generation has
different ideas as to how things are done according to a particular generation. In workplaces,
training workforce with generational differences has both rewards and challenges. According
to (Keene, 2010), baby boomers were born between 1945 and 1964, generation Xers were
born between 1965 and 1980 and millennials were born between 1981 and 1996.
Challenges and Rewards of Training Multigenerational Workforce
When trainers are baby boomers, training the millennials may be a great challenge as
they are stuck in technology and believe in using technology to solve every problem.
Training the baby boomers, on the other hand, maybe a great challenge especially when the
topic is based on the use of technology to improve productivity. Different training styles must
be put in place to cater to the needs of each generation. This might be expensive for the
company. Other than the challenges, training multigenerational workforce has rewards too.
The multigenerational workforce improves innovation. According to (Workmonitor, 2018)
‘Younger people have greater exposure to digitalization and innovation, and are therefore
more open to embracing technology and agile ways of working’. On the other hand, baby
boomers can share their experiences with the young ones. The multigenerational workforce
promotes the sharing of best practices from a different generation.
Technical Skills Development.
Technical skills development training is the type of training in my workplace. It
involves learning new skills as taught by the employer or an external trainer. Employees from
all generations are taught together.
