On October 24, panelists joined us to discuss how to thrive with a multigenerational workforce.

Earlier this year, the number of Gen Z employees surpassed baby boomer employees in the U.S. workforce, according to Glassdoor. Millennials will likely be the most represented generation in the labor market until sometime in the 2040s, and the Gen X employee count will rank second for some time yet. What does this mean for leadership, organizational culture and the future of business? Our discussion focused on generational trends and demands leaders should know for the future.

president, Simpson College

Liz Cooney
manager, inclusion, F&G

John Irving
president, Central Iowa Division Tri-City Electric Co.

Skylar Mayberry-Mayes
executive director, the Jacobson Institute at Grand View University
