Why are multi generational workplaces important, and what benefits can they bring?
Abstract
Purpose

Findings
Workplaces benefit from a multi generational workforce; and employers have yet to systematically harness and leverage these benefits.
Originality/value
As employers begin to think of workforces in generational terms, they will need to understand the benefits arising from a comprehensive understanding of the relationships between employee generations.
