Episode Description

The buzz: M vs B. The “M” word (Millennials) is top-of-mind when we discuss workforce. But Boomers 60+ are a force to be reckoned with. What do boomers need to stay on top of their game and be happy at work? And how can your organization prepare for the huge skills gap coming when Boomers decide to retire? The experts speak. Richard Eisenberg, PBS Nextavenue.org: “60+ boomers who are still working full-time want to receive training that is so often restricted to younger employees regarding new technology tools and ways to be more productive and efficient… and want help transitioning into encore careers.” Donald Truxillo, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology: “Organizations should find ways to develop a climate that supports people of all ages to enhance organizational health.” Gabby Burlacu, Cloud Customer Office, SAP: “The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, and the young know everything” (Oscar Wilde). Join us for Enough about Millennials: What Do Boomers Want?
