Myths, Exaggerations and Uncomfortable Truths

In contrast to a steady stream of literature that highlights stark differences among millennial, gen X and baby-boomer employees, author Carolyn Heller Baird, writing for the IBM Institute for Business Value, argues that they’re not so different after all. Backed by a multigenerational study of employees across various countries and industries, Baird debunks five myths about millennials and uncovers truths that apply to employees of all generations. She also recommends ways for firms to embrace a multigenerational workforce. Due to its fresh perspective on the topic, getAbstract recommends her findings to HR professionals and business leaders.
