Leadership Post : Management and Intergenerational Leadership Coaching, Employee Engagement, and Performance Management Training

A few months ago I wrote an article for Diversity Executive Magazine titled Gen Y: How Millennials Are Changing the Workplace. The article refers to how the Millennials are presenting challenges for managers and how they are impacting diversity and inclusion initiatives.

Historically, diversity has been about race, gender, sexual orientation and physical disabilities. These groups are still important, but generational differences are emerging as a key area of focus in diversity.

Danielle Robinson, director of diversity, talent and organizational design for global premium drinks company Diageo, said she believes Gen Y's entrance into the workplace has added a layer of complexity to an already complex work environment.

The article shares how some of the Fortune 100 companies and their heads of diversity are addressing the top four challenges:

1. Unrealistic Career Aspirations
2. Work-Life Effectiveness
3. Capturing Knowledge
4. Communications
