For the first time in history there are now four generations working together. What exactly is generational diversity and why does it even matter? What does this mean for you, as an employer, as a manager, and as a colleague?

Managing the Cross-Generational Workplace will introduce the four generations (perhaps five, depending on your industry) and dispel some of the longstanding myths of generational diversity.
