Generations present top business challenge A recent benchmarking study found that managing a multi-generational workforce is the top concern facing businesses today. An overwhelming 80% of companies identified this as a major challenge, although only 33% offer training to bridge to equip managers and employees to understand how to work through this challenge.

There are currently four generations in the workplace and each has their own career outlook, motivational factors, communication style, view of authority, cognitive style, and requirements for giving respect to supervisors.

This is substantiated by Max Impact and MBC Global where multigenerational training is a popular training request. Managing Builders, Boomer, Xs and Ys without losing your Zs was developed by Max Impact and is also used by MBC Global to teach employees at all levels how to work together in a multigenerational environment. Managers are also taught how to turn all four generations into long-term, productive, and respectful assets to their employer.
