The Five Generation Workplace

How to manage the multigenerational workforce

Very soon, for the first time in modern history, five generations will be working side by side. Baby boomers, traditionalists, and Generations X, Y and Z. Is it a manager's dream - or a nightmare? Manuela Saragosa and guests ask why millennials are so hard to manage - and how do you keep older workers motivated throughout a career that could last for 50 years?

Contributors: Professor Andrew Scott, Deputy Dean at London Business School and co-author of The 100-Year Life
Ali Hall, leadership development coach and Associate Fellow of SaΓ―d Business School, Oxford
Chip Conley, Modern Elder and former head of global hospitality and strategy at Airbnb
