A new study from Ricoh Europe, conducted by Coleman Parkes, examines whether the opinions and attitudes of different generations in the workplace have grown apart or shifted together.
It also explores how much attention businesses need to give to the expectations of different generations and how best to ensure every individual can thrive.
