The February 27 meeting of the Lake Murray-Irmo Rotary Club was highlighted by a presentation entitled "Generational Differences." Speaker was Emmett Scully, president of Synergetic Inc. The present work force is composed of four distinct generations--Traditionalists (over 60), Baby Boomers (ages 45-60), Generations X-ers (ages 30-45), and Millennials (under 30). Many differences are found among these groups as a whole, although individuals within these groups may vary from the stereotypes. Areas of differences include work ethic, desire for time away from work, technological capability, and team orientation. Being aware of these differences can be helpful in creating a positive work environment and building loyalty for employees of all ages. Reporter - Rosalie Browning
