Companies today are facing a serious issue.
According to Pew Research Center, members of the Baby Boomer generation represent less than 35% of the total U.S. workforce.
Of late, there has been a LOT of talk about the Millennials who now hold the title of the "largest percentage of the U.S. workforce".
The problem is...this current downturn in large areas of the economy (read: energy sector, manufacturing, and more) is leading to an increasing number of early retirement and voluntary layoff packages being issued, further shrinking the number of vastly experienced people from some very complicated industries.
A quick look at the media offers much attention for the ballyhooed Millennials, but are they ready to take the helm in YOUR company?
There is a better solution already present in your companies, and it's the ranks within Generation X.
In this episode, host Scott Cooksey shares his insight gained from his experience working closely with the front-line leaders within these companies and shares some easy to implement tips EVERY COMPANY should be utilizing to help bridge the pending knowledge gap before it's too late.
