This is the first time in history that we have had four different generations working together in the workforce. Come to this presentation and learn about the unique characteristics each generation has, and how these contribute to the workforce. Have fun in learning which management style works best for each generation.

Bob and I have fun presenting on this topic because we are from two different generations.   --Esther Headley
