Baby Boomers are lingering in the workplace. Gen Xers are growing impatient waiting to acquire additional responsibilities and ascend into leadership. Gen Ys are knocking at HR’s door in record numbers. And technology, including social media, is transforming the mode and pace of communication. This convergence of young, old, and technology is simultaneously creating opportunity and crisis.
From cell phones and texting to religion and manners, almost 8 in 10 people believe there is a major difference in the point of view of younger and older Americans. Generational “crowding” is making for some major conflict and miscommunication in the workplace. That’s because each generation has its own distinct set of values, shaped by their unique social conditions, political events, economic conditions, major crises and childhood experiences. Each generation also reacts to the generation before them, and this reaction becomes part of its own identity and defining characteristics. These differences can lead to major misunderstandings between coworkers raised in different eras.
Capitalizing on each generation's strengths is a must. Neutralizing their liabilities is essential. Minimizing generational clash-points is a necessity. Finding common ground is priority #1.
Learn how to turn generational conflict into a competitive edge.
During this presentation, participants will learn from workforce management expert/author Ira S. Wolfe about what defines each generation and how the convergence of youth, aging workers and technology is changing the way employers will do business. Generation differences are a really big deal. Ignorance will not be bliss!
