Bridging Generational Workplace Chasms

The Department of Labor projects that by age 32, today’s young adults will have had approximately eight jobs, an average of about 1.5 years at each company. Here are best practices Ambius employs to attract and retain Gen Y/Millennial workers while honoring and empowering its Gen X and Boomer employees.

By Jeff Mariola, President, Ambius

 “All Baby Boomers who grew up during the period between 1946 and 1964, are afraid of technology.” “Gen Y/Millennials (born between 1982 and 2001) don’t want to work hard.” Have you heard these stereotypes? As a “Boomer” who oversees thousands of people in North America and Europe, I believe there are inherent challenges in managing divergent generations of colleagues, but the opportunities for growth and renewal are far greater.

Training and the Accountable Government Initiative

Congress and the executive branch have taken steps toward implementing performance improvement measures in the federal government. How can federal training executives lead their own staff to improve the performance of government? They must develop performance measurements for each training program and attendee, and they must create an individual Action Plan to address performance gaps.

The national debt of the U.S. is $14,344,503,407,708 (source: http://www.usdebtclo...)―give or take a couple billion dollars. Now is not the time for government agencies to accept more of the status quo. What the country demands now is leaders within the halls of government agencies who are able to identify business problems and fix them. What the country needs is an Accountable Government.

As Interest Rates Fall, Civilizations Rise

When interest rates are low, it tells us that we should invest today because any return will be prized more in the future, believes Todd G. Bucholz, author of “Rush: Why You Need and Love the Rat Race.” Societies that make tomorrow more appealing show more progress. And not just material, GDP-measured progress. They also show less bloodshed and longer lives. Time is of the essence of human progress. Either we imagine progress and move forward, or we sink into entropy.
