Managing A Multi-Generational Workforce May 18, 2011

The generation gap has become the generation chasm, with four generations coexisting in today's workforce -- Seniors, Boomers, Generation X'ers, and Millennials. Each generation has different work styles, values and expectations that HR and line managers must understand in order to recruit, retain, build intergenerational teams, and communicate effectively across the generations.

At the same time, team members must understand how to work effectively with their colleagues to achieve personal and organizational goals. Leave this workshop with concrete strategies you can use immediately to:

Adapt HR systems - onboarding, benefits, rewards, etc. - to appeal across the generations;

Identify core strengths of different generational team members;

Leverage the diversity of unique strengths despite work style differences
