An electronic survey was utilized obtaining data from health sector generational cohorts. A MANOVA was used to address the research questions. The null hypotheses (H10 and H20) therefore were rejected, further suggesting that there were significant differences in autonomy (satisfaction/frustration) by generational cohorts. The approach of utilizing a quantitative study was favorable in the overall delivery of quantifiable responses, to demonstrate how effective professional development programs can be used to foster employee turnover and collaboration. Within the last year our world has experienced unforeseen changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The economy, employment levels, and organizational growth have been affected.
