There is growing characterizations of employees by their generation of birth in the media. Are labels such as Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials meaningful in terms of informing employment practices?

This workshop will explore recent and predicted societal and demographic trends in the U.S. with implications for the workplace. It will examine how employers, with special attention to the military, have responded to these trends and to any evidence of generational differences in the workplace.

This workshop is the first of two workshops hosted by the Committee on the Consideration of Generational Issues in Workplace Management and Employment Practices, intended to gather information for the committee’s study.
