Generational Diversity Interactive Workshop
This program examines generation gaps and solutions for having better interactions with people belonging to five distinct cohorts. During this course, participants will consider a host of issues related to generational differences: whether conflict is personality driven or the product of birth group; the needs common to all people, regardless of age; how a generation is formed; where common ground is found; and how to adjust to people who have decidedly different expectations of the workplace.
This generational diversity course will:
• Provide participants with an overview of the five generations in the workplace.
• Highlight strategies for communicating with members of each group.
• Address common challenges multigenerational workplaces often face.
• Offer insight as to what’s coming next.
At this program’s conclusion, participants should be able to:
• Identify the five generations in the workplace.
• Describe the factors that influence and help determine where one generation stops, and another begins.
• Explain the values and experiences common to each group’s members.
• Describe how the generational differences impact the modern workforce.
• Explain the strengths of each generation, their preferred communication styles, and their workplace expectations.
• Incorporate strategic best practices to work better with members of different generations.
