Generations at Work

FORGING GENERATIONAL INCLUSION

With arguably now 5 different generations in the workplace, with a growing shift in the cohorts for each generation getting younger, ignoring or sidestepping addressing how to lead across all generations is not an option.

This module is an instructor-led workshop that explores the perspectives of employees at different ages and different stages of their careers. From “rigid” Traditionalists to “self-righteous” Millennials, we aim to break down commonplace generational stereotypes and promote the generational truths; ensuring that every generation is seen as a valuable piece of any team.

Our conversations provide proven techniques to combat generational stereotypes, while promoting generationally conscious communication and interpersonal skills to create an inclusive workplace. We address both awareness and appreciation for the varied “events and conditions” each generation experienced to help combat generational stereotypes, we then promote generationally conscious communication and interpersonal skills to create a balanced, productive, and less stressed-out workplace.
