A new kind of diversity : making the different generations on your team a competitive advantage / by Elmore, Tim,author.(CARDINAL)366052; Maxwell, John C.,1947-author of foreword.(CARDINAL)349202;
Includes bibliographical references."The past few years have brought an endless cascade of social media movements that left many of us . . . well . . . scratching our heads. #Occupy Wallstreet. #March For Our Lives. #Black Lives Matter. #MeToo. #ClimateChange. Regardless of how you might feel about these protests, each symbolizes a gap. Despite the perspectives on all sides of these causes, a clear issue remains: There is a huge gap in this country that few are taking seriously. While diversity is usually seen as an ethnic, gender, or income issue-there is a new kind of diversity that only eight percent of U.S. companies even recognize: diverse generations on teams." --Publisher.

Managing Generation Z : how to recruit, onboard, develop, and retain the newest generation in the workplace / by Paggi, Robin,author.; Clowes, Kat,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Expert advice on attracting, training, managing, retaining, and succeeding with America's newest generation of hard-working, tech-savvy employees. A new generation is entering the American workforce-Gen Z, the age cohort born after 1996. Having grown up with smartphones, social media, emoji-speak, helicopter parenting, and no expectation of privacy, Gen Z has a unique culture and working style that can be baffling to their Millennial, Gen X, and Baby Boomer managers. In Managing Generation Z, Robin Paggi, a veteran HR manager, and Kat Clowes, an educational consultant who has worked with hundreds of Gen Z'ers, join forces to give employers and managers a practical, easy-to-understand guide to the new generation defining the future of work. Based on Clowes's in-depth knowledge of Gen Z habits and Paggi's real-world experience of how generational miscommunications can cause expensive personnel problems, Managing Generation Z gives managers at all levels a plan for getting quality work from Gen Z employees while avoiding cultural clashes at the office. Gen Z is highly educated, extraordinarily tech-savvy, eager to meet expectations, and loyal to employers, but many Gen Z workers have never been trained in the basics of professionalism, workplace communication, and the unwritten social rules older generations instinctively expect. Managing Generation Z teaches managers how to bridge the communication styles between Gen Z and older colleagues, how to train Gen Z staff to make work objectives clear, and how to evaluate and correct Gen Z employees so they will listen, accept, learn, and improve. Like having an expert HR manager at your fingertips, Managing Generation Z is essential reading for both front-line supervisors and C-level executives who want to get the most from the newest generation in the workforce"--

Gen Z @ work : how the next generation is transforming the workplace / by Stillman, David.(CARDINAL)666653; Stillman, Jonah.(CARDINAL)632231;
A generations expert and author of When Generations Collide and The M-Factor teams up with his seventeen-year-old son to introduce the next influential demographic group to join the workforce--Generation Z--in this essential study, the first on the subject.They were born between 1995 and 2012. At 72.8 million strong, Gen Z is about to make its presence known in the workplace in a major way--and employers need to understand the differences that set them apart. They're radically different than the Millennials, and yet no one seems to be talking about them--until now. This generation has an entirely unique perspective on careers and how to succeed in the workforce. Based on the first national studies of Gen Z's workplace attitudes; interviews with hundreds of CEOs, celebrities, and thought leaders on generational issues; cutting-edge case studies; and insights from Gen Zers themselves, Gen Z @ Work offers the knowledge today's leaders need to get ahead of the next gaps in the workplace and how best to recruit, retain, motivate, and manage Gen Zers. Ahead of the curve, Gen Z @ Work is the first comprehensive, serious look at what the next generation of workers looks like, and what that means for the rest of us.Includes bibliographical references (pages 292-297) and index.

Working with Gen Z : a handbook to recruit, retain, and reimagine the future workforce after COVID-19 / by Nishizaki, Santor,author.; DellaNeve, James,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 217-237)."A decade ago, Millennials came of age, and many workplaces were not prepared to integrate a new generation that thought and worked differently. As a result, some organizations lost out on the best in young talent or were paralyzed by generational infighting. Gen Zers, born between 1995 and 2012, have had their lives and relationships with work shaped by massive instability--first as a result of the Great Recession and again by a global pandemic that changed everything. This new generation holds the promise of the future and is coming soon--if it hasn't already--to an office, inbox, Zoom, and Slack channel near you. To unlock that potential, employers and colleagues must understand them. Are you prepared? This book provides the tools, tips, and data to get ahead of the curve in understanding, recruiting, and retaining the top talent of the future."--
