Overview:

With 5 generations in the workplace, from the Veteran generation to Gen Z, the generation gap is growing wider. And that is a good place to be! Every generation brings different strengths, values, viewpoints, and ideas. Your organization will be stronger and wiser if you learn how to embrace the differences and bring out the best of each generation. This session is designed to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the events and circumstances that shaped each generation. In addition, we will address the challenges and opportunities presented by generational diversity in the workplace. The course will explore the unique perspectives, values, and work styles of different generations and how these differences can impact workplace dynamics and communication. You will come away with concrete ideas on how to harness the power and strengths of each generation and learn how we can all work better together!
