When Generations Collide: Managing the Differences of Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation Xers and Millenials in the Workplace
For the first time ever, we have four generations working side by side in the workplace. Each of these generations were impacted by various events that shape who they are and how they work and yet, we need to understand what motivates the various generations and how to work together. Conflicts frequently have generational issues as their cause:
- “She is not committed to her job”
- “He has a poor work ethic”
- “Why is she always texting?”
- “I can’t believe the way he/she dresses”
- “What do you mean I can’t work from home on Friday’s”
This session will offer a better understanding and appreciation of each generation and how they act and think. It will include ideas on how to motivate and retain great employees from all generations, as well as offer insight into how to constructively work with individuals from among the various generations.
