Today's workplace can be an exciting, though not always harmonious, mixture of four generational cohorts; Traditionals, Boomers, Xers and our youngest workers from Generation NeXt. Successful management, especially with the current changing generational dynamics and issues with worker availability and readiness, requires being able to understand, communicate with and lead everyone at work, from each generational group. Understanding typical generational values, traits, preferences and styles can improve recruitment, workplace effectiveness, harmony and employee satisfaction and retention. This program will address the generational issues and dynamics in the workplace with specific, immediately applicable suggestions for developing the most productive, positive and effective work setting for all workers.
