A multigenerational workplace should mean a dynamic, efficient workplace. In reality, it can be a group of people with different personalities, experiences, cultural touchpoints and values.

It might not amount to what some call “intergenerational warfare,” but it could mean challenges in the office. So, how is the multigenerational workplace treating you? Are there tensions? Or are your differences making your workplace more fun? 

On Monday, guest host Chris Farrell led a conversation about the multigenerational workplace with experts from the University of Minnesota — and with your calls. 

You called and answered these quesitons: How’s it going at work? Are you feeling old? Young? Out of step? Out of place? Or has the multigenerational office made your job easier?

  • Phyllis Moen is the McKnight Endowed Presidential Chair in Sociology at the University of Minnesota
