Generational research

At any given business, there can be five different generations in the workplace. Millennials can be working alongside their parents. The silent generation can be collaborating with Generation X on the same projects. There’s an age gap between the generations that can reach up to 50 years. With varying options, values and work experiences, each generation is different. Data from the Aflac WorkForces Report adds unique perspectives by asking employees of different generations their opinions on benefits, job satisfaction, savings for out-of-pocket costs and preparedness for unexpected out-of-pocket expenses. Each generation has different benefits needs. Understanding these generational differences can help employers ensure they are meeting the needs of all their employees regardless of generation.
