  • The Generational Response to COVID-19: Gen X

    One of my main worries is that my generation has become the ‘worry’ generation. We’re all middle aged now so the lockdown has been the time we worried about. Our elderly relatives are not taking the Pandemic seriously enough and we worried about our grown-up kids taking to the streets and the beaches far too…

  • The Generational Response to COVID-19: Gen Y

    Throughout the Pandemic there have been two constant emotions that Gen Y have faced: fear and frustration. Fear not for themselves but rather for parents, in-laws, grandparents, older friends and relatives who were more at risk of contracting the virus and reacting badly to it. Then frustration, particularly at these same older generations who did…

  • The Generational Response to COVID-19: Gen Z

    Kasasa, an award-winning financial tech and marketing company, states that Generation Z is categorised as individuals born between 1995 and 2015. Through this time, Zoomers would have little to no memory of the horrific September 11 attacks which shook the world. However, we will have memories of the global Covid-19 pandemic. Although the Pandemic presents a…

  • The Workplace Generational Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

    In late 2019, prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic, employees in the workplace spanned 4 or 5 generations: The Silent Generation; Baby Boomers; Gen X; Gen Y; and Gen Z. Only a few of the oldest generation remain in the workforce, being 75+ and past retirement age. Baby Boomers span from 55-75 years old, either looking…

  • How Accurate Should Social Distancing Be?

    Pictured on the left are former England football stars Peter Crouch and Steven Gerrard (two of my favourite players) sharing a lighter moment. As you can clearly see they are about the same height. You disagree? Well I can’t say I blame you because Steven is 6’ tall and Peter is 6’7” (2m) and to…

  • Why you can’t make Eeyore happier

    If you have read Yuval Noah Harari’s excellent book “Sapiens” you will be familiar with the Lottery Problem. This maintains that everyone has a natural level of serotonin and dopamine (the chemical compounds in our bodies that produce feelings of happiness) and that even if you raise this via an incredibly positive experience such as…

  • Boiled Frogs and the Generation Gap

    Folklore has it that you can boil a live frog in a pan of water whose temperature increases so gradually that the poor creature does not notice the change. It’s something I have referenced when talking about the passage of time in talks about generations in the workspace, the main point here being that we…

  • Can simple changes in the working environment improve engagement and productivity?

    Peter Townshend of Know More investigates. It’s a worrying thought that most of us don’t seem to like our jobs much. Figures from Gallup suggest that only 13% of global workers are “psychologically committed to their jobs and likely to be making positive contributions to their organizations.” Worse than this, nearly half of those unengaged employees are…
