Gen Up - New Penna Research
With four generations currently in the workplace (and a fifth soon to join them) generational diversity is rapidly emerging as a major issue for employers. In fact, it’s already having an impact. So we decided that it warranted a closer look.
Working with the CIPD, we carried out extensive research and produced the Gen Up research report. In it we’ve dispelled some myths, uncovered some surprises and found out what the four generations really want from their employers. We’ve also suggested steps companies can take to avoid some of the conflicts that may arise.
Want to know what 5,500 people across Europe think about generational diversity?
