1. Identify & differentiate the different generation of workforce

management in their organisation5
This generation is less inclined to say something if they disagree
with management than their successive generations
Gen X value being able to do things quickly and are less inclined
to spend hours of overtime completing something perfectly

Due to their independent nature, Millenials are not as interested in
teamwork as other generations

hours spent at work a week compared to previous generations who
both average above 40 hours 8
This generation is impatient when it comes to career growth – 49 per
cent are likely to leave before two years if they feel their skills are not
being developed9

any other generation, using up to five screens at once
Weaknesses:

favouring a realistic outlook over the idealism of Gen Y
Gen Z don’t know much about a time before social media and
easily accessible tech. This can make them very reliant on
technology to solve problems
