The generation gap

We've all heard the names given to different generations in the workplace, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, Millenials...

A new one I read about this morning:

"Boomerangs", they lend Influence. This is the label for baby boomers who retire and then go back to work for their same firm part-time, maybe just a day a week. In this way, they impart their knowledge and mentor the new generations coming through the doors. They teach the formal and informal ropes of the business.  

What a great way to implement a mentorship program and to teach the formal and informal ropes of the business.
