Much is written about design for specific generations – millennials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha. The workplace may have up to five generations of talent for the foreseeable future. With every dimension of employee diversity increasing, it’s essential to consider universal human aspirations that bind us together.

- Purpose
- Mentoring & Collaboration
- Autonomy Through Choice
- Collegiality & Networking
- Experience (spaces, technology, tools not at home)
