1950s-2000s | Firms benefitting from multigenerational workforce, but gaps found in how employers support workers

Nearly three-quarters of senior business leaders in Great Britain (73%) have multiple generations in their workforce today as populations age and working lives extend, a new report finds.

Analysis by the Work Foundation at Lancaster University in collaboration with the International Alliance for Responsible Drinking (IARD) found that for the first time in history, there are four generations in the workplace, with workers born in the 1950s and 1960s now working alongside people born in the 2000s.
