  • How to Manage a Multi-Generational Federal Workforce - April 17, 2020
  • Get ready for Generation Z—managing four generations in the same organization will be tricky.

    Bill Bennett, Government Executive

    This year, Generation Z will account for nearly a quarter of the global workforce and while a good portion are still in elementary school, at 61 million strong (1 million more than Millennials), organizations are preparing now for the impending impact.
