Questions: As you respond to the paper prompts, consider how you, as their manager, will communicate to the diverse and multigenerational workforce within your specific professional field or industry.

Your paper will be given from your perspective as a manager of four employees, representing each of the prevalent workforce generations: Baby Boomer, Generation X, Millennial, and Generation Z. Your paper must address the following:

• Begin by comparing how the four different generations differ as individuals and as a member of their generational cohort.
• Next, compare the workplace assumptions and career development expectations of each generation/ individual.
• Then, convey effective strategies or plans you would use as their manager to engage and empower each individual to foster their distinct work-life balance and career development needs and expectations. Be sure to include specific examples to support your plan. Examine what you believe are the most pressing communication issues or challenges for management that may arise from having these individuals/multiple generations in the same workplace.
• Discuss three communication strategies that you would prioritize and use to foster multigenerational cooperation and engagement between the individuals.
• Explain how your approach might differ if these individuals were working remote or virtually. Give specific challenges, for each individual, to work-life balance and career development that must be addressed when managing this virtual team.
• Summarize how your awareness and understanding of these multigenerational concepts addressed above can affect your future growth as a leader or manager. (List all references used to support)
