    Timely topic applicable for everyone companies that tap into the wide range of knowledge, ideas and unique strengths from each generation will have a distinct advantage in having a future-ready workforce. A strong internal talent pipeline also helps employers reduce hiring costs and focus their resources on training courses that are developed to deepen individual capabilities and create more opportunities for internal promotions.
