Working and Thriving on a Multigenerational Team

With people living longer and many working well past the traditional retirement age, there are currently five different generations working side-by-side in many companies today.

Learning to accept and embrace the differences of others can help you develop professionally and learn important lessons from more experienced colleagues.
