Generational Differences in the Workplace- September 13, 2023

Would you like to know more about how different generations think, communicate, and manage in the workplace? How are you currently managing the multi-generational workplace?

The American workforce is much more diverse today than ever before in history, with the age range of employees spanning over 60 years. Each generation has its own unique values and behavior which can sometimes cause misunderstanding in the workplace.

Our current workplace has at least three generations working together and sometimes five generations. Each generation has unique characteristics, strengths and values that are a result of the shared historical events that occurred during their generation. It is important to learn about each generation, to help avoid workplace conflict.Workplaces today have a wide range of generations and ages in the workforce.

Join us as we dive into the various generations and how working with multiple age groups can impact the workplace. Positively, the combination of the different generations allows for new ideas, technology and solutions to workplace issues.

When organizations fail to understand the generational differences, it has a huge impact on many levels. From lower performance to higher turnover rates are just a few issues an organization may face. A better understanding of each generation, its workplace needs and how each generation can effectively interact in the workplace can minimize some of the negative impacts on organizational performance.
