Generational Preferences in Employee Recognition

For many managers it can be difficult to figure out what motivates employees from generations other than their own. Staff can also find themselves frustrated by the differences that generational perspective brings:

A twenty-something complains, “My boss never provides any feedback.”

His baby-boomer coworker has a different problem.
“Why does my supervisor want to review everything I do?
She must think I’m incompetent!”

These are two very different perspectives of the same manager and same management style. It is no wonder that managers, supervisors, and team leads are confused.

These issues of generational preference affect every aspect of work relationships and are critical to offering effective recognition.
