It is personnel comprised of people from different generations. This happens when people from different generational classifications come together in a workforce with a common goal. This has been present throughout history, although we are currently in the presence of the widest age diversity ever recorded. We see people from the Baby Boomer Generation (1946-1964) working together with Generation Z (1997-2012), there are 2 Generations of people in between these, and we may end up having up to 4 different Generations working together in the same workforce.
The reason why the multigenerational workforce is wider than it has ever been being due to several factors. Firstly, people are working longer and delaying retirement. Secondly, younger generations are entering the workforce. Thirdly, people’s lifespan is longer than before. At the same time, technological advances are creating new job roles that previously did not exist, requiring a different set of skills and experience levels. Additionally, globalization is also a common factor that we should not overlook. You can notice this even in a diverse classroom, which provides a glimpse of how the future workforce will look like and the advantages that it may bring to both big and small organizations.
