From Boomers to Zoomers: Embracing the Power of Generational Diversity 

Description 

For the first time in history, there are five different generations in the workplace creating unique challenges for employers on several fronts. Each generation has different preferences related to communication, teamwork, leadership style, technology, motivators, job loyalty, desired benefits, work-life balance, etc. How employers navigate generational diversity to enhance the workplace, motivate productive behaviors, and achieve positive results will drive company success. In this session, we will talk about why the differences exist, why the differences are a good thing, and what it means in terms of professional development, organizational flexibility, communication styles, and managing expectations. 

Learning Objectives 

  • Understand the reason why generational differences have become an area of focus for employers 
  • Recognize the events and experiences that have shaped the different generations and how that impacts their interactions 
  • Understand generational preferences in the workplace today 
  • Develop strategies for working effectively with peers of different generations
