The American workforce is in a state of transition. As baby boomers age and retire, millennials are quickly taking their places. This demographic shift has been researched and discussed a great deal, but often these studies paint a bleak picture. Many seem to say that millennials lack the skills needed to actively participate in the workforce, require constant attention and can't navigate even the most basic of tasks. However, most of these assertions are myths, and the so-called generational gap is, for the most part, a fabrication. One source of true insight has come from the Arcompany team. The group created think tanks to explore the idea of multi-generational workplaces, and has found that boomers and millennials are not so very different. The think tanks found that all workers, regardless of generation, prefer to communicate face-to-face on important issues, and that all prefer an open office plan. They also found that millennials are very aware of the negative stereotypes regarding their generation, and will actively work to combat them.
