Veterans, Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennials now occupy a variety of roles within teams and work units. As we move forward, generational diversity will only continue to further entrench itself it in our workplaces. By 2020, five generations will be present within our workforce.

Given the diversity of each generation’s set of values, attitudes, work behaviours and communication styles, it stands to reason that there are intrinsic challenges to effective interaction between generations. Discover and explore the complexities of multi-generational workplaces, while examining how effective communication can instead be used to unite generations and capitalize on human resources.
This workshop is beneficial for any person who has worked in a multi-generational environment and experienced frustration or a lack of understanding therein. Learn about each generation’s distinguishing characteristics, which impact their approach to the workplace. Gain practical tips and techniques to effectively communicate in multi-generational workplaces. Also, acquire the knowledge and skills to effectively manage multi-generations. Whether you are managing your boss or supervising subordinates, these top management strategies can lower stress, boost productivity and ultimately benefit your workplace. This is relevant for Boomers supervising Gen X and Gen Y, as well as Gen Xers supervising Boomers and/or Gen Y.

Identifying and reconciling these variances will also teach you something new about yourself.
