Generations Interview

Claire Raines has been researching generations in the workplace for more than twenty years. She has written seven books, and designed a game that teaches people how to be more effective in work and family situations by adapting to generational differences.

In one of her books, Connecting Generations, I ran across a simple exercise that she recommends to help promote diversity in the workplace.

To promote learning and understanding of generational differences you could conduct an interview with a member of another generation and ask the following questions.

1. What generation do you consider yourself a member of?

2. What do you like about your generation?

3. What do you wish other generations knew or understood about your generation?

4. Do you feel all your work-related talents and skills are used on the job?

5. What challenges do you face at work that may have to do with your generation?
