The Right Mix: Managing Generations at Work

"We need to learn across generations that there is as much as to learn as there is to teach."

For the first time in history, five generations—Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X (or Gen Xers), Millennials and Generation Z – are working together under the same roof. A definite lack of awareness exists among these distinct groups. Typically, those of each generation feel they know best—better than those who came earlier, and certainly much better than the new kids on the block. This leads to management challenges, disruption and productivity issues.

Managing Generations in the Workplace is the perfect tool to bridge those gaps, building awareness that will lead to better hires, happier employees, stronger teams, and healthier organizations. It helps participants understand what makes each generation unique, and how each adds its own perspective and value to the workplace.
