This is a rare time in history that we have 5 generations across the workforce. It's also a time when communication and behavioral misunderstandings are creating silos and driving conflict resolution requests to an all-time high.  Learning about the perspectives and drivers of each generation and applying that understanding in the workplace can positively impact communication, collaboration, and productivity. In this discussion, we’ll explore each generation and learn how you can take steps toward creating a generational synergy.
