   Scenario
   You work for a company that has employees from each of the five generations: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z. Because there is a great deal of generational diversity in your company, your managers have sometimes struggled to effectively communicate with their teams. In order to help your colleagues, you decide to put together a part of a training plan to discuss the importance of managing a diverse workforce and provide guidance to managers.
   Instructions
   Create a training plan that:
   
   • Researches and summarizes each of the five generations in the workforce:
   • Traditionalists
   • Baby Boomers
   • Generation X
   • Millennials
   • Generation Z
   • Identifies effective strategies for communicating with, motivating, and supporting a generationally diverse workforce.
   • How does each generation prefer to communicate?
   • How do you keep them engaged?
   • Examines the benefits that companies have experienced employing multigenerational workforces and why these are important for organizational success.
   • Analyzes potential communication and collaboration challenges that could occur among the different generations and why these are important to understand when managing a diverse workforce.
   • Be sure the training plan displays proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, and credible sources cited in APA format.
