Baby Boom, Generation X And Generation Y

Managing a workforce with different cultures, ethics, and also generational differences. The four generations of American works Tradition, Baby Boom, Generation X and Generation Y. The traditional generations are the oldest generation in the workforce this includes people born before 1945.This generation is molded by events such as the great depression and the World War 2 among many other events.
