Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The baby boomer generation is reaching retirement age, which means the company is likely to face the loss of key personnel in the coming years. This is a common challenge for companies with a large number of baby boomer employees. While the other options may also be challenges for Alejandro, they are not as directly related to the baby boomer generation as the loss of key personnel.
