Bridging the Gap: Managing in the Multigenerational Workplace
When one hears the term “workplace diversity”, most people think of race, religion and ethnicity. However, today’s workplace is perhaps most diverse with regard to age. This is the 1st time in U.S. history that workplaces have had four generations of employees co-existing.
A 2007 Lee Hecht Harrison survey found that 60% of workplaces reported conflict between the generations. Today’s manager would like to move away from grappling with the intergenerational tension and create an environment where individuals are appreciated for their skills, talents and experiences.
On Thursday, March 17, we held a webinar on managing in the multigenerational workplace. This webinar covered the following topics:
- Review the cultural and historical events uniquely impacting each generation
- Understand and appreciate the generational differences in our approach to work
- Explore communication strategies best used when communicating across the generations
- Learn how to best manage someone older (maybe even twice your age!)
- Know how to capitalize on the strengths of varying aged employees, and merge the generations into an effective work team
