Course Description

Are you a "Boomer"? Perhaps you have just landed that first job, fresh out of college. Are you a "Generation X'er?" For the first time in history, as the "Traditionalists" can attest to, organizations are facing the challenge of employing four different generations: The Traditionalists, The Boomers, The Xers and the Yers. Who are they? What are their work ethics? What are their values? Why do they clash? Understanding each generation's differences is the first step in closing your organization's generation gap.
