Baby Boomers and Gen X employees are distinctly less engaged than others — and they make up 88% of the U.S. workforce. Here’s what to do about this problem.
Boomers, Gen X + Millennials: “For Baby Boomer employees, as well as Generation Xers, engagement is connected to having a strong sense of their company’s mission and purpose. Businesses that can find ways to help them understand and embody what their company stands for — and what it means to them personally — will keep them engaged or increase their engagement.

Millennials are generally more upbeat about all aspects of engagement than are Baby Boomers or members of Generation X, but Millennials are specifically more positive about growth and development opportunities. – And Millennials seem to be more mobile than workers in other generations in one other important way.
