The older generations grew up with a different mindset when it comes to work. They believe in putting in long hours and working hard.
On the flip side, younger generations have different work habits. They prefer to draw the line between work and life to strike a better balance. Younger employees are more likely to use creative and innovative technologies as well as collaboration tools to optimise their work performance so that they can leave the office at a decent hour.
