Five Generations

Let’s look at the five generations in the workplace today by dates they were born:

Matures           1905-1945
Boomers          1946-1964
Gen Xers         1965-1978
Millennials       1979-1992
Net Gen          1992 - present

Being born into a particular generation that does not necessarily mean you belong to just one the above generations.  Many Gen Xers tell me they have more of the values of the Boomer generation than their own generation. For example, if a Gen Xer was raised by grandparents, they will reflect the same values of their grandparents but be a part of the age group that sindicates they are a Gen Xer.   Please keep this fact in mind as I discuss all five generations.
