Building Belonging Across Generations
With as many as five generations in today’s workforce, hospitals and healthcare systems have an opportunity to build a sense of belonging that takes into account all age groups. Understanding employee perceptions and needs across generations is a big part of that and critical to institutional success, says Jack Lynch III, FACHE, president and CEO, Main Line Health in suburban Philadelphia.
“Different generations of employees expect different things from their employer,” Lynch says.
