Bridging the Divide

The Four-Generation Transformation

Systemic policies and hyper-tech are driving Gen X to Gen Z disengagement. The cost to your Employee Experience and balance sheet is escalating.

Problem Statement - The Roots of Disconnect

To solve a problem, we must first understand its origins. Here, we unpack the core factors fuelling the generational divide: antiquated frameworks, a paradoxical use of technology, and the unmet expectations of a new workforce.

A Global Challenge, A Local Impact 

In September 2023, CNBC reported that global employee disengagement now costs the global economy a whopping $8.8 Trillion dollars in annual losses. This immense cost underscores the urgency of the situation: the vast majority of working-class people across the globe are on a bell curve from unprepared to unengaged. If serious reimagination is not implemented this decade, Gen X to Gen Z disengagement is assured for another, companies will not solve for the critical Employee Experience (EX) they covet, and CFO balance sheets will move into "next level" galaxy costs. 

Quote in the data – “We’re seeing the symptoms everywhere, but we’re not treating the disease. The cost of quiet quitting is dwarfed by the cost of lost potential.” 

The Four-Generation Landscape

About 11,200 baby boomers retire daily in the U.S., according to Protected Income. Born between 1946 and 1964, this generation is reaching retirement age, with the peak expected to continue through 2027.

Gen X (1965-1980)

Often referred to as the "sandwich generation," Gen X values independence, work-life balance, and practical solutions. They appreciate direct communication and autonomy. 

Millennials (1981-1996) 

Seek purpose-driven work, opportunities for growth, and a positive company culture. They thrive on feedback and collaboration, and are digitally fluent.

Gen Z (1997-2012) 

Digital natives who prioritize flexibility, authenticity, diversity, and social responsibility. They expect continuous feedback and clear career pathways. 

The mass retirement of baby boomers is impacting the workforce and economy on a global scale, causing labor shortages and skill gaps in many industries as experienced workers exit.

The Macro Issues Behind the Escalating Cost of Inaction

If serious reimagination and changes are not implemented into organizational transformation this decade, Gen X to Gen Z disengagement is assured for yet another decade, companies will not solve the critical Employee Experience (EX) they covet and CFO balance sheets will move into “next level” galaxy costs. 

Financial Impact

Increased turnover, reduced productivity, and higher recruitment costs directly impact the bottom line, leading to significant financial drain. 

Innovation & Talent Drain 

Disengaged employees lead to a lack of innovation, reduced creativity, and a critical loss of diverse talent, hindering future growth.

Over-Engineering & Tech Overload

Overloading tech without purpose leads to employee frustration, wasted resources, and reduced agility.

Creating Positive Change Means Solving Toxic Systemic Issues

Unfair Practices

To keep employees in place, wage suppression tactics have become common among many companies, including major corporations for a long time.

Wage Inequality

Every year the U.S. government tells us about the annual wage increase (a 2.9% rate in 2018) but if inflation comes in at 1.9% (as was the case in 2018) what are you left with?

Prime Ageism

It’s called Prime Ageism and it can affect anyone and everyone, which is why I believe that it is the worst and most prevalent type of discrimination. Ageism doesn’t care

Over - Engineering

Overengineering tools and systems often leads to burnout, confusion, and lost productivity—ultimately slowing down innovation instead of accelerating progress.

CEO/CHRO/BOARD

A new and most important emerging alignment in decades – many companies have not game planned for this.

CEO/CHRO/BOARD

DIVERSITY

Diversity cannot be more important today. Far too many companies still do not understand what it really means for profit, prosperity, attraction & more.

DIVERSITY

TALENT ACQUISITION

SEC has begun requiring talent metrics reporting for disclosure staring in 2021. Public companies are scrambling to determine what to report.

TALENT ACQUISITION

ESG/SDG

Alignment of Social, National and Global Governance is paramount now. It’s not just Millennials who want this, its Gen Z too.

ESG/SDG

HR RISK

HR teams need more multi-expertise talent, not chatbot or dashboards to keep tabs of growing Legal/Ethical/Social concerns.

HR RISK

TALENT RETENTION

The Multi-Generational workplace is the emerging dynamic, but companies are not ready. Employee engagement and satisfaction, key to employee retention.

TALENT RETENTION

LEADERSHIP

Mentoring is a key emerging skill for executive leadership. Leaders have lacked the skill’s to motivate.

HC VALUATION

The reconceptualizing of the value of employees has already begun. For decades companies valued the employee incorrectly.

LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT

Employee reskilling is now a major strategic investment theme. The miscalculation of not reskilling has significantly changed global dynamics.
