Many of us are personally experiencing a variety of transitions with our families, such as launching young adults graduating from college, dealing with older relatives, and family business leadership passing to the next generation. Questions on how we should be handling generational differences continue to bubble up.

Multigenerational workforces have many benefits, but they're not without their challenges.
Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z... how do you attract and retain people from these groups? What's the best way to communicate with the varied styles?

We invite you to check out our blog, below, if you've not already read Kira Copperman's approaches to successfully deal with these opportunities.
At Crothers, we can help you and your managers customize your generational strategy in addition to manager and employee training, and best practices for promoting a sustainable culture. Check them out here.

Montreal conference inspires women leaders |
|
For 23 years, the Women Presidents Organization (WPO) supports second-stage female business owners with revenue over $2 million (service providers need a minimum of $1 million). Laura facilitates two WPO chapters - Morris and Monmouth counties. Each includes about 20 CEOs in various industries who come together monthly to support each other’s growth and development.

One of the changing trends in workforces is that they reflect an even broader range of ages.
As noted above, these multigenerational groups can bring significant benefits, but they're not without their challenges.
