2025 Un-Salary Guide:
Generational Synergy
Unlock the Power of Generational Synergy in Your Workplace.
Understand the Multi-Generational Workforce so You Can Recruit and Retain the Best.
For the first time, five generations are working side by side — bringing fresh opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and knowledge-sharing, along with new challenges. The 2025 UnSalary Guide: Generational Synergy explores how understanding what drives each generation can help businesses improve retention, boost engagement, and strengthen team dynamics.
“According to Statistics Canada, a significant portion of Canada’s workforce is aged 45. As generational dynamics evolve, employers who understand these shifts will gain a competitive advantage. Whether you’re hiring Gen Z or Baby Boomers, customizing your value proposition matters more than ever.”
A thriving workplace doesn’t come from one generation alone — it comes from the synergy of perspectives: seasoned expertise, emerging innovation, and everything in between. Understanding what motivates each group helps you build stronger teams, close skill gaps, and retain talent more effectively. From flexible work arrangements to targeted upskilling, inclusive strategies are no longer optional — they’re essential. This guide explores where generational expectations intersect and how to turn those insights into a competitive edge.
Agilus has prepared a 29 minute-video that captures the opportunities generational synergy creates. You can read the full video transcript or explore our blogs for a deeper look at each generation:
- Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964)
- Generation X (born 1965-1980)
- Generation Y (born 1981-1996)
- Generation Z (born 1997-2012)
To support your journey, we’ve also created a downloadable workbook with exercises and reflection activities — ideal for individual development or group workshops. We’ve also included key slides from the webinar to reinforce your learning.
Engaging all five generations isn’t just inclusive. It’s a strategic advantage. A multigenerational team brings diverse skills, perspectives, and problem-solving approaches that fuel innovation, productivity, and business resilience.
