About the course
Age is much more than a number - with each generation, distinct events, circumstances and other influences impact work behavior, expectations, values and attitudes. The workplace often brings these differences into sharp focus, and today’s workforce has more generations working together than ever before. With so many generations represented, the potential for conflict and confusion is a major challenge for leaders and their teams.
This highly interactive program will address best practices, requisite skill building, and confidence needed to guide participants in bringing the generations together. Collaborative tools, approaches, and social learning methods integrated in this session will model those found in today’s competitive, agile, and connected multi-generational workplaces.
