Insights: ‘OK Boomer,’ It’s Time to Embrace Your Millennial and Gen Z Coworkers
Download MP3In this episode of the MGMA Insights podcast, we’re joined by M.J. Clark, an author, senior consultant and executive coach serving healthcare and energy professionals. Clark was a featured speaker at MGMA19 | The Annual Conference, presenting a session called “Leading, Managing and Understanding Millennials and Gen Z.”
There are generational differences in the workplace, and the term "Ok Boomer" has gone viral on social media platforms, with mostly negative connotations. Clark says, while differences do exist, there's also opportunity in the modern workplace for the different generations to bring their unique skills to the forefront.
