Millennials and experienced employees differ in how they work and learn: millennials tend to voice and share ideas openly with a wider audience, while Generation X colleagues focus more on balancing responsibilities. A multigenerational workforce, spanning people in their twenties to their seventies, blends experience with new thinking. Recognising each generation's traits helps managers strengthen their people skills.

The generation gap in the workplace has been evident and is growing rapidly. While a workforce that traverses various generations can give a beneficial blend of experience and new thoughts, overseeing representatives from 20-year-olds to seventy-somethings can be challenging. Millennials are used to being more vocal about their ideas and sharing it with the wider audience whereas the generation X focuses predominantly on the balancing act. Being able to identify the characteristics of the generations is a sure shot way of enhancing your people skills and ensuring your success in the work place.
