Generational Differences in the Workplace
Ever wonder why people of different ages have such conflicting views on completing tasks or just opinions in general?..... Different generations have diverse working styles, and conflicts can and do arise when employees of different generations cannot see eye to eye.
Baby boomers, for example, want the younger employees to care more about existing processes, policies, and working hours. Millennials want flexibility in how work gets done, as long as deadlines and goals are met. You must bridge this gap.
It's important to learn how to harness the capabilities of all generations, enabling them to work together toward the goals of your organization. Your challenge is to increase understanding between generations and promote cohesiveness throughout your organization.
Every generation has something to offer. Get the most out of every employee, and help them be more successful in their positions by motivating them based on their generational perspective.
We have invited Dr. Melissa Furman to help us recognize and understand each generation's different working styles, processes, and goals. Please join us for this entertaining yet insightful presentation that will help you get your team all on the same page and pulling in the same direction.
