Generational Workplace This is an interesting and engaging 6 hour workshop that takes a look at the past and the future in order to ensure that all generations are appreciated, valued and optimized in the workplace and the marketplace. For the first time in the history of the industrialized world, four generations of people are finding themselves working side by side. It is imperative that companies not only satisfy the needs of established Baby Boomers and Traditionalists who hold most of the jobs, but attract the talented and tech savvy Gen X and Millennial employees and customers if they are to be successful. The different generations don’t always understand each other or see eye-to-eye. With education and communication, the generational gaps can be bridged and successfully navigated. 5/17 BUS311.95 OR 7/13 BUS311.91
