Generational Affects in Business EthicsWe are experiencing a changing of the guard in our workforce, currently there are three generational groups that make up our workforce: Baby Boomers, Generation the Millennials, who started working together a few years ago. However, what we are finding is that, due to the time frame of their births and the life-altering effects during those times, this has influenced the values ​​and goals of each of these groups, ultimately influencing their ethics and values, in the workplace. We will continue to uncover the differences in each of these generations, their perspectives, and the steps business leaders are taking to evolve their training programs and procedures to accommodate these changes and maintain or raise the ethical standards of their companies. Many business leaders are striving to ensure that a generation gap does not lead to miscommunication, lower performance and, most importantly, put their company at risk. To delve into the various characteristics of each of these generations it is necessary to understand the history of what caused the evolution of these generations. Let's start with the Baby Boomers, sometimes referred to as the “Me Generation.” The birth years of this generation range from 1946 to 1964 or more precisely after the Second World War. These children were raised in an era of economic prosperity by their parents who survived the Great Depression. They witnessed on radio and TV the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy, President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. They were at the center of the civil rights movement and were greatly affected by the Vietnam War. That for the first time in U... middle of paper... to retire we are experiencing for the first time a big difference in the attitude, outlook and skill set of workers in the United States. This is causing company leaders to be much more involved and aware of these ethical changes, while preparing and educating younger workers to ensure that their business model, the products and services they offer, as well as the ethics of these companies, continue to improve.
