Insight - The post-generational workforce

Working from home is now part of the new normal following the Covid-19 pandemic, and the practice may continue even after.

Organisations have traditionally leaned heavily on workers’ age and generation to differentiate talent strategies.

However, with today’s workforce spanning five generations and the Gen-Z poised to enter, using a single demographic lens is proving to be of limited value.

The Deloitte Global Human Capital Trends 2020 found that 70% of organisations believe leading multigenerational workforces is important for their success over the next 12–18 months. However, only 10% feel ready to address this trend, and 6% strongly believe that their leaders are equipped to lead a multigenerational workforce effectively.
