"Baby boomers" have been a dominant part of the work force for decades but their ranks are thinning - and within 10 years they will be a minority group. Generation X, Gen Y and "millennials" bring different work styles - more optimism, less loyalty, greater mobility. And their communication and tech skills have unexpected results, both positive and negative. How can managers handle the turnover and speak the many languages of each group? Can you capitalize on the "graying" of America as it remakes your clients and their customers?
Another complication is the challenge facing workers who have extended families or relatives overseas. New England's demographics are different than other parts of the U.S. We'll look at the impact on companies, workers and your consulting practice - with contacts and strategies that give you an edge.
