Men more prone to mental health problems at work. Employee engagement. Younger generation heading for 'wake-up call' at work. Learning and development. Gen X has been fired, abused and ignored for all of the 21st century and they were overshadowed by the boomers during the later half of 20th century. They didn't get pampered; no one ever put a baby on board sticker on a car in the era they grew up in. In my house, my mom and her friends threw us in a station wagon, no seat belts, smoked cigarettes, and maybe even drank alcohol in front of us.

Street lights were the signal it was time to go home. No self-respecting Gen Xer was ever given a medal for participation; most of us got a kick in the butt if we didn't participate, like our boomer parents we just accepted it and moved on.

Gen X is the least understood group in the workforce today. They have been ignored because of the many brilliant boomers before them and the magnificent millennials who followed them.

These people are your bread and butter, they have worked through more recessions than their parents or grandparents ever did. Most often they are mid level leaders who are on the cusp of becoming the C-Class but aren't thriving in the workplace.

The closer these workers get to 50 the more their knowledge becomes invaluable to your organization and to your customer. Today all the chatter in leadership development is about Millennials and retiring boomers.

Let's be honest, for most organizations, no millennial is going to be tapped for a top job right now unless it is an Internet or marketing firm - yet many of these organizations are spending money on understanding the millennial and helping boomers feel good as they retire. I work with millennials and have studied them; they are interesting, fun, and different. But they too will have families, bills, and fears. Even with all its profits from the pandemic, ads will help support investment in the basic-level platform to keep providing users with the capability to connect with friends, family, and colleagues.

After some privacy issues last year, the platform is careful to explain its stance on the advertising program. According to their Privacy Statement , content from the meeting or webinar will not be used to determine ad content. Users will be able to access a link that takes them to a cookie management tool to manage the ads they are shown. There are other video platform options that still offer free, no-ad services, though that may also change in the future.

The pandemic changed how many companies view remote work. As the talent pool expanded, it meant businesses had to be concerned about where their employees are working as much as how they are working. Complying with state laws can make it more difficult to hire out-of-state talent. The EPEW outlines steps to help businesses achieve gender pay equity.

However, rather than simply list salary and benefits in job postings, many employers are simply refusing to consider candidates from Colorado. ColoradoExcluded is a website created by Aaron Batilo to track companies that are refusing to post salary ranges to avoid violating the EPEW. IBM, Hallmark, and Shutterfly are just 3 well-known companies on the list that have job listings that exclude Colorado employees. Posting salary range filters out those professionals who might decline an offer that was too low.

You and job applicants can focus on the interview instead of worrying about the financial aspect of the arrangement. Sharing salary ranges can ensure fair pay for new hires just as much as veterans in a field. Take that detail out of consideration by posting the salary range. We could all use a little more trust these days. FAANG is outdated and it needs a change. Hertz is making the major investment after filing for bankruptcy mid-pandemic and returning under new ownership, who are focused on electrification, shared mobility, and the digital-first experience.

Part of his success has to be tied to his personality.
