This month’s speaker, Dr. , creator of Generational Acuity™️ and founder of 1 Gen Solutions, gave us plenty to think about when it comes to leading today’s multigenerational workforce. Here are some of the points discussed:

• Five generations are sharing the workplace for the first time in history, and Gen Alpha is just now starting their first jobs.

• Most businesses lead all five generations the same way, and it is quietly costing them their best people.

•Replacing one employee can cost 50% to 200% of their annual salary. Turnover is a bottom-line problem, not a soft one.

• There is a real difference between tolerating the generations on your team and actually valuing them. Only one of those keeps people.

•Generational Acuity™️ gives leaders a practical way to understand the who and why behind each generation

If you want to improve your talent retention and bridge the generational gap in your own organization, contact Dr. Nichles at:
