We’re continuing this week with Bridging the Generational Gap in the Workplace Part 2 with generation expert Kristin Scroggin, with genWHY Communications. This week, we’re discussing how your bosses view you as a Millennial, Gen-Z or Gen-X. We’re also discussing techniques to have better working relationships with all the generations. Lastly, we’ll dive into why those high tech companies are doing better at retaining the younger generations! Generation Breakdown: Traditionalist: 1924 -1945Baby boomer: 1946 - 1965Gen X: 1965 - 1984Gen Y (Millennials): 1985 - 2005Gen Z (technically still Millennials): 1995-2005Gen Alphas (rename for COVID) - 2006 - PresentTop Tips:Gen X, also known as the “latch-key” kids, are not as social as the other generations. They are also very good at having work-life balance. Don't expect to socialize a lot with this generation in the workplace or outside of it. Baby Boomers are notorious for being SMEs(Subject Matter Experts). You need to be intentional of learning from these SMEs so that they are willing to give you all their nuggets of knowledge. Millennials have a strong need for everything to be fair.  Keep in mind not everything is fair and it's all about a balance. Connect with Kristin:Website: https://www.genwhy.com/Instagram: @genwhycommunications

You’ve heard all the generation stereotypes. Some think Millennials whine too much. Others think Baby Boomers work too much. Now that we have a new generation entering the workforce, we wanted to know how we could all get along. We brought along generation expert Kristin Scroggin, with genWHY Communications, to break down all of those quirks and habits that stem from our generational upbringing. Tune in to Part 1 of this episode as we dive into how to bridge the generational gap in the workplace!Top Tips:Generational differences are influenced by the different parenting styles we grew up with. Millennials have attributes in the workplace such as,  informality, refusing to “look busy” when you’re out of work, and feeling entitled for things instead of working for them. These are perceived negatively by the older generations. Not all Millennials are the same. There are those who are considered to be outliers . These include people that got raised by a single parent or grandparent, raised by older parents, parents battled addiction, raised in a small town, or if a family member was in the military. Traditionalist: 1924 -1945Baby boomer: 1946 - 1965Gen X: 1965 - 1984Gen Y (Millennials): 1985 - 2005Gen Z (technically still Millennials): 1995-2005Gen Alphas (rename for COVID) - 2006 - PresentConnect with Kristin:Website: https://www.genwhy.com/Instagram: @genwhycommunications
