A Time of Rough Sailing

There is no question it has been a tough several years for U.S. companies. The upheaval in normal business operations, the emergence of the hybrid workplace, and the great resignation are just some of the overwhelming challenges faced by both employers and employees.

What Is Generational Diversity?

Generational diversity means having a wide range of generations in the workforce at the same time. This is an essential concept in the workplace today as people are retiring later, and there can be five generations in the workforce: Generation Z (1997-2021), Millennials (1981-1986), Generation X (1965-1980), Boomers (1946-1964), and Traditionalists – also called the Silent Generation (1922-1945). (I personally know a few Traditionalists who really enjoy their part-time work and the extra cash it provides them.)

The disruption to the workplace has only magnified the reality that many workers feel ongoing dissatisfaction with their work-related situations. So how can employers stem this tide and stop the flood of a disappearing workforce?

One Constant in the Ever-Evolving World of Work

 The only thing we know for certain is that things will change. This has been the all too real experience of employers and employees in the past several years. The workplace has continually evolved through periods of lockdowns, remote operations, and hybrid settings. The disruption to the normal workplace environment has been tumultuous and stress-producing.

Companies have learned the incredible value of implementing and utilizing employee recognition programs to reward and retain their current staff, in addition to helping them attract new employees. In healthcare where success is measured by the quality of care patients receive, the importance of recognition is even greater.
