The digital generation is working its way through the education system and into the workforce, the question for businesses, organizations and managers is how to successfully integrate this generation into the multigenerational workforce?
The main topic of this work has been developed following the concerns of organizations, who are facing the emergence of those born in an entirely digital world, these new individuals have a different paradigm, a unique culture, and their own perspectives about how to live their life and what to prioritize. Taking that into account the role of the new generations in organizations the following question arises: what does an organization have to do to make the most of the capabilities of this generation? The group of experts that participate in this book propose many actions that could lead to better organizational performance, along with the use of technological and digital tools to optimize processes, promote autonomy and empowerment to improve teamwork, and ways to reduce the issues of the generational gap.
Drawing on industry and academic research the thirteen chapters presented here allow for readers to discover methods and tools to better improve intergenerational ways of working.
This book has undergone external single anonymous peer reviewed before being accepted for publication.
