For the first time in history, there are five generations in the workforce: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y (also referred to as Millennials) and Gen Z. Ranging from pre-1946 to after 1997, these groups represent a wide range of ages where employees will inherently have different workstyles and views, which can pose some interesting challenges. Unfortunately, misunderstandings and perceptions can overshadow the strengths that each generation brings to the workforce.
To highlight the positive attributes of each generation, Women Investing and Networking (WIN) hosted a Lunch and Learn, "Working as One: The Power of Generation Differences." Employees gathered to learn about the generational characteristics of their co-workers and understand key differences so we can leverage the strengths of diverse teams. In addition, attendees participated in group discussions focused on common differences across generations – such as preferred communication methods, work-life balance and effective managing styles – to have a better understanding of their co-workers’ thoughts on these topics. These discussions were reinforced with research, such as:
West employee, Catherine Hamilton, expressed that “it was so terrific to bring light to the generational differences that exist in the workplace and in turn capitalize on them to create a stronger more collaborative team.” Understanding individuals and their priorities helps to create a company culture that respects and meets the needs of each generation. When a company has multi-generational teams that are open and flexible to new ideas and insights, together they can open doors to new knowledge and processes that otherwise may not have been explored.

Where science and technology are evolving quickly, a good networking structure is needed to keep pace of advancements. This is especially relevant for regulatory agencies in the pharmaceutical field. EMA recognizes this and addresses it with the strategic plan: <em>Regulatory Science to 2025</em> – focused on quality, safety and efficacy of both human and veterinary medicines. The draft of this plan, which was created by the Member States and the European Commission, and comprised input from two workshops with stakeholders, was published in December 2018 for a six-month public consultation.
In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of multi-dose vials. First, multi-dose vials can create efficiency and reduce packaging waste when vaccines are administered to large populations. For example, both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines provide multiple doses per vial to maximize the number of people vaccinated as quickly as possible. Secondly, multi-dose vials enable dosing flexibility to a diverse group of patients with different dosages dependent on patient age/weight. This also applies to the animal health sector to accommodate the large diversity across different species, dosage differences, and use of various needle gauge sizes.
