When engaging with these generations, focus on how faith connects to their lives and experiences.<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The Rise of \u201cThe Nones\u201d: <\/b>A growing number of people identify as having no religious affiliation.

Therefore, it is wise to avoid assuming they have prior knowledge of these topics.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sensitivity to Individual Comfort Levels: <\/b>Each coworker will have a unique level of comfort with spiritual conversations.
