Generational conflict is one of the last bastions of acceptable discrimination in today's workplace. Each generation has different beliefs, expectations, values, learning styles, and desires. These result in a strong tendency for them to adopt different work habits. 520 Managing employees of several generations is not an easy task, but it is the reality of the business world today. The creation of a culture and coordinating programs that foster communication and collaboration between all of the generations present in the workforce will help to alleviate the difficulties managers may encounter. In order to truly create a cohesive workplace, managers must encourage employees to view generational difference as a valuable strength rather than a weakness. 520 Based on rigorous academic research, Managing the Multi- Generational Workforce identifies the characteristics of the different generations, considers their expectations and values, and how these influence the way they relate to each other. The authors then examine implications for organizational culture and structures, recruitment and retention tactics, training, and management styles and approaches. 520 This book actually tackles the issue of properly integrating the newest generation -- the "Millennials", into the workforce and challenges the unrealistic belief that all that needs to happen is for younger generations to be "changed" to conform to workforce norms. As younger generations enter the workforce, and eventually dominate it, workforce norms will change. Any firm or manager competing in today's war for top talent will find this book indispensable. 520 "With the vast differences among generations in the workplace, this book is a must read to be fully informed. Not only will you learn about the characteristics of the generations, you will leave with a better understanding of how to manage these generations. Quick and interesting read, I highly recommend it."--Jacket. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Diversity in the workplace|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh94007733|xManagement.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002007911 650 0 Conflict of generations.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85030961 650 0 Intergenerational relations.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85067264 650 0 Personnel management.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85100143 650 7 Diversity in the workplace|xManagement.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/895720 650 7 Diversity in the workplace.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/895719 650 7 Conflict of generations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/874815 650 7 Intergenerational relations.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/976251 650 7 Personnel management.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1058797 650 7 Intergenerational relationships.|2homoit|0https:// homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0000663 653 Conflict of generations in the workplace 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 DelCampo, Robert G.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ nb2010011250 776 08 |iPrint version:|tManaging the multi-generational workforce.|dFarnham ; Burlington, VT : Gower, 2010|w(DLC) 2010015704 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=389996|zOnline eBook.
