The Business Case for Addressing Multi- generational Management The transfer of knowledge between retiring generations of veteran workers and newer workers to the workforce is becoming increasingly more important. The traditionals and baby boomers comprise greater than 50% of the workforce and are either eligible for retirement or nearing retirement. The impending brain drain should cause nightmares for management.
