“We’ve spent so much time over the past two years analyzing the way companies and offices have been disrupted by COVID-19 that we’ve lost sight of the fact that, for the first time in history, five generations are together in the workforce,” wrote Jill Buban in Fast Company. Not surprisingly, those generations have dissimilar needs and expectations about workplace benefits. Yet with education benefits, says Buban, everyone wins.

“Research confirms the vast majority of workers, regardless of age, see new skills as important for their professional growth,” she says at https://www.fastcompany.com/90759851/this-the-key-to-reaching-all-the-generations-with-your-hiring-strategy.
