Description
For the first time in history, four generations -Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, Millennials, and Gen Zers -are co-working together and making things more complicated, they are navigating an unprecedented post-pandemic work and workplace experience. Spoiler alert: it’s not easy. Each one of these generations is very different, with very particular needs, motivations, triggers, and sensitivities.For this episode, we decided to have a panel so we can hear directly from representatives of these generations where they stand, what are the greatest misconceptions about them, and why Gen Xers are the absolute best (no biases here at all).We had the privilege of speaking with two impressive professionals, each representing his respective generation. For the Gen Zers, we interviewed a truly inspiring up-and-coming media industry professional, Jesse L Kearse IV, Sports Manager of Creative Partnerships @NBCUniversal. Representing the millennials, we spoke with an accomplished real estate executive, Gio Lago, who at 33 years, is the SVP of Operations at Precedent Management.We hope you find this discussion as enlightening and entertaining as we did.Resources:- NYT article: “The 37-Year-Olds Are Afraid of the 23-Year-Olds Who Work for Them”- Business.com: "Managing Millennials and Gen Z employees"- UpWorthy: "Gen X is the 'most stressed' generation alive but they're also the best at handling it"- Deloitte: "Understanding Generation Z in the workplace New employee engagement tactics for changing demographics"- Forbes: "8 Ways Generation Z Will Differ From Millennials In The WorkplaceHighLights:1:30 "Friendly Reminder" about the ages of each generation2:29 Panel presentation4:17 Historical context highlights for each generation6:32 Generational differences / fun facts 7:30 Why everyone is afraid of milliennials9:00 Gen Zer Jesse Kearse gives his POV on Gen Zers confidence and overall work philosophy12:22 Millennial Gio Lago gives his POV on how he differs from his Gen Z new hires15:15 Discussion about the so-called hypersensitivity of Gen Z.22:15 Glenda talks about bridging the gaps between Gen X and Gen Z.25: 35 Gen A as future leaders (empathy + resilience).28:19 the effects of social media on the Gen Z attitude towards work.29:22 Adjusting to the new hybrid scenario38:18 Mentorship and reverse mentorship38:46 Dissecting the new trend of "a job is just a job."

Opening The HR Black Box: Human Resources is the one department that EVERY SINGLE employee interacts with. There’s no escaping HR (and they have no way to escape the employees either). For Episode 3, we speak with Jennifer Mohammed, a Human Resources Director, and ask what it’s like being an HR person, what goes on behind the curtains, and we dive into some of the delicate questions people want to know but are afraid to ask. by Surfing Corporate
