Recognizing a Multi-Generational Workforce

This infographic highlights generational differences among these generations:

• Traditionalists (1922-1945) – Want their actions to connect with the good of the company. Recognition should hone in on service and loyalty with awards, trophies and plaques.
• Baby Boomers (1946-1964) – Need to see how their actions make a difference so recognition should promote and reward performance.
• Generation X (1965-1978) – Needs flexibility to get the job done based on their schedule and recognition should embrace these personal needs and goals.
• Generation Y (1979-1988) – Connects their responsibilities to their personal goals with tangible evidence of credibility. For example, post about the employee’s career milestones on a Recognition Wall, an internal social platform.
