Employee Recognition Programs

General Market Conditions

For the first time in American history, there are four generations of workers in the workplace. Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials – each with different characteristics, work habits, expectations, and needs.

The situation is compounded by the fact that the competition for talent is global and despite the current economic situation, there is a shortage of knowledge workers and skilled labor that can add value to a company and move it forward. The shortage is estimated to be 10,000,000 by 2010 and has created a leadership gap.

  • Generation X half the size of Boomers
  • Fewer workers poised for management
