America’s Racial and Ethnic
The workforce is currently comprised of the four generational cohorts. Their different characteristics bring diversity to the workforce, increase team strengths, and bring together values and traits (Moorely, Everly & Bauer, 2016). However some of the challenges faced when mixing cohorts is the miscommunication among different generations due to different values and increased incivility which puts patient safety at risk as well (Moorely et al., 2016).
