January 2025
In the January workshop, the Collaborative's Aimee Densmore discussed how different generations view and show up in the workforce.
The modern workforce is a mix of Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z, each with distinct values and priorities. While Baby Boomers value structure and loyalty, Gen X emphasizes work-life balance and entrepreneurial thinking, Millennials focus on collaboration and social impact, and Gen Z seeks purpose, unique experiences, and personalization.
With more career opportunities than ever, these differences shape workplace culture and expectations. Bridging generational gaps requires adaptability, mentorship, and a commitment to evolving workforce needs. Learn more by watching the video below.
