In a recent episode of the HR business marketing podcast, A Better HR Business, Ben spoke with Meghan Grace, consultant, researcher, and author specializing in generational dynamics in the workplace.
Meghan is the co-author of Generations in the World of Work, a guide for employees, managers, and organizational leaders on how to maximize productivity, relationships, well-being, and engagement across generational differences – ultimately creating thriving workplaces that value and leverage each person’s strengths.
She is a generational researcher, consultant, speaker, and podcast host dedicated to helping individuals and organizations learn, grow, and thrive. With academic roots at Chapman University, the University of Arizona, and Vanderbilt University, Meghan’s career has focused on advancing learning and development through research, strategy, and education.

Through her work, Meghan supports clients in improving individual practices and developing organizational strategies by leveraging her expertise in organizational development, research, data strategy, strategic planning, curriculum design, and program management.
Meghan brings fresh insight to the evolving workplace, helping teams navigate generational differences and unlock the strengths of Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z.
In a wide-ranging discussion, Meghan and Ben talked about:
