Restless Gen-Y workers – often faced with unfulfilling or static positions – frequently leave their posts within two years.

The workplace has become increasingly diverse and complex, as employees have to manage generational differences between four groups: Gen Z, Gen Y, Gen X and baby boomers. Each generation was born in a different time period, has diverse workplace preferences, and needs to be managed in a different way. Generational perspectives form based on the time period that each grew up in and they carry lasting beliefs as they progress in their careers. Today, it’s increasing important to create a workplace cultural that understands and supports generational differences. As a millennial who has studied all generations extensively over the years, Dan Schawbel understands what motivates the different generation, how they can work together successfully, and the most effective management practices and strategies that work for some of the world’s best companies. When addressing employees which make up all generations, Dan helps audiences understand the underlying assumptions each generation brings to work: the histories, personalities, strengths, and challenges. He helps them better understand each other and thus uniting each unique generational group.
