How Generations Are Distinguished?

The current living generations have been divided into the following four major groups:

❑ Traditional (1945 and before)

✔ Traditionalists value workplaces that are conservative, hierarchical and have a
clear chain of command and top-down management.

❑ Baby boomers (1946-1964)

✔ Baby Boomers value workplaces that have flat hierarchies, democratic cultures,
humane values, equal opportunities, and warm and friendly environments.

❑ Generation X-ers (1965-1976)
✔ Generation X values workplaces that are positive, fun, efficient, fast-paced,
flexible, informal and have access to leadership and information.

❑ Millennials or Gen Y (1977-1995)

✔ Millennials value workplaces that are collaborative, achievement-oriented,
highly creative, positive, diverse, fun, flexible and continuously providing
feedback.

❑ Generation Z or iGen or Centennials (1996-now)

✔ Generation Z is motivated by security, may be more competitive, wants
independence, will multi-task, is more entrepreneurial, wants to communicate
face-to-face, is truly digital- native and wants to be catered to
