Baby Boomers y Millenials: el mejor equipo de negocios
La diversidad de edades de los empleados de una empresa podría suponer un choque en lo que a cultura laboral se refiere; sin embargo, si las empresas capitalizan los conocimientos y habilidades de los llamados baby boomers, los baby boosters y los millennials, podrían conformar equipos que aporten nuevas ideas, experiencia y buenos resultados que enriquezcan el entorno de negocios de la firma.
Lo positivo de crear equipos mixtos es que los empleados de 20 años toman la experiencia de la gente mayor y, éstos a su vez, aprovechan el empuje de los jóvenes, comenta Ramón Hernández, director de Soluciones SI para la revista Expansión en su edición 1151 de octubre 2014, cuya suscripción se encuentra disponible en el Kiosco Digital de Grupo Expansión.
