The work force has several different generations functioning side by side. Each generation has diverse needs which means you will have to manage them differently. So not only do you have individual styles to deal with, you also have the employee's generation to include in motivating the employee.
Given the requirements for great talent and the limited talent pool, it's likely you will have an "older worker" as part of your team. Retention of strong employees, no matter what generation they reside in, is one of your primary functions within the company.
What constitutes an "older worker...anyone in the workplace 40 years old and older." In the U.S., be aware of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), which kicks in as soon as an employee turns 40. Within the "older worker" generation, you will have different needs...40, 55 or 65 year olds...they may have different workplace needs.
