Editor's Note
In this special issue of In the Zone, we are turning our focus
to some of the latest developments in the Human Resources arena.
Not only is the HR department under pressure to streamline staff
and reduce costs in a down economy, but there are new
considerations as Generation Y moves into the workforce with a
vengeance. Generational expert Phyllis Weiss Haserot continues
her series on the challenges of the multi-generational workplace.
And because it's Friday and, for many, the start of a long
weekend, we've included something light for our readers - the
latest installment in our Life in the Big Four series.
Best regards,
Gail Perry, CPA
