Generation Defined• A “generation” is defined as a group of people who share the same formative
experiences
• Most frequently, birth year is used to define a generation
• ~20-year span
• Each generation shares a unique set of values and traits
• Generational characteristics are not universally shared by all in that group
• “Cuspers” may have a blended set of characteristics (born on the “cusp” of a generation)
Bova, B. (1993).

• Perks can help attract, engage and retain employees• Millennials are assessing workplace culture, the value of their own
role and whether they believe in management or not

and what drives them to succeed, perhaps it's easiest to
understand who they are not. You.”
~Cam Marston, leading expert on generational change
