Describe the different types of challenges posed by older workers and younger workers to human resource managers

Answer 1

As the oversized Baby Boomer generation begins turning 60, their employers, which include virtually every major American company, face a potential crisis: the loss of key talent and experience through massive retirements. Enlightened companies have responded with programs to retain their best employees through flexible schedules, training opportunities, and creative pay schedules.
As twenty-somethings enter the workforce, they often bring optimism, open minds, technological know-how, a team orientation, and a multicultural perspective. But many also bring an unprecedented sense of entitlement. This translates into startlingly high expectations for their pay, their responsibilities, and their job flexibility, but little willingness to "pay dues." Most have no expectation that their employers will be loyal to them, and they don't feel that they owe their companies strong loyalty. Managing this group can be a challenge, but companies that do it well stand to deliver results for years to come.
