Is Gen Z Different from Millennials?
|
|
From all evidence there are some notable differences between the two cohorts, while, at the same time, Gen Z exhibits some Millennial-associated characteristics – only to a greater degree.
Over at least the last half decade, hospitality marketers have been falling over themselves trying to target so-called Millennials (those born between 1980 and about 1995).
Hotel chains large and small have launched brands designed to appeal to this demographic segment. Some examples include: Marriott’s Moxy flag, the chain’s first branding concept created outside the US; Hilton’s Tru, billed as “very minimalist and modern, with a young, social vibe”; or Hyatt Centric, which features co-working spaces and open-concept lounges that encourage socialising.
Regarding these Millennial-focused concepts, generally observed trends are smaller guestrooms and more emphasis on creating convivial common areas.
What about Gen Z?
Now what can be said of the even younger cohort behind the Millennials, who are known as Generation Z (those born roughly between 1995 and 2010)? Are they the same as their older brethren or are they distinctly different? From all evidence there are some notable differences between the two cohorts, while, at the same time, Gen Z exhibits some Millennial-associated characteristics – only to a greater degree.

Best Practices for an OSHA Inspection

Don’t Know What You Got (Till It’s Gone): Is OSHA Required to Give Managers and Supervisors Their Rights Before Interviewing Them?
|
|
When an inspector from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) shows up at your workplace, know this: everything—and we mean everything—that a manager or supervisor says at any point to the inspector will bind the company and may be used against the company to support a citation.
Two Examples
Imagine an OSHA inspector shows up at your workplace and presents his credentials to the plant manager. The opening conference begins with the OSHA inspector, the plant manager, and safety director present. The inspector explains that he has received a complaint of employee exposure to methylenedianiline (MDA) at the workplace. The complaint is vague and does not specify where in the facility the exposure occurred. Trying to be helpful and point the OSHA inspector to the right area of the facility, the safety director says, “Oh, yeah. I know the area they’re talking about. That’s in the back of the facility near where we produce the polymers. It’s a recent issue because we just changed suppliers.”
Here’s another example: an OSHA inspector is in the middle of conducting an inspection related to a complaint of asbestos exposure concerning the removal of pipes at a facility. During the walk-through with a facility owner, the inspector discovers that a contractor’s employees worked in the area of alleged exposure. The contractor’s site superintendent is onsite and joins the walk-around inspection. When the inspector gets to the area of the alleged exposure, the contractor’s superintendent says, “We removed the pipes, but the host employer told us they had hired an asbestos removal company to abate the asbestos insulation on the pipes we removed.”
Is there an issue with either the safety director’s or site superintendent’s comments?

Why Crack Down on Workers' Comp Fraud?
Fraud hurts both employers and injured workers. It inflates employer costs, clogs the injured workers' compensation court and administrative systems, delays the resolution of claims, diverts limited system resources, and exploits injured workers who do not receive the medical care needed to property heal from their injuries.
