Today there are five different generations working together in the workplace. Each of these generations has different goals, values, expectations, and perspectives of what work is and how it is to be managed. When properly managed, generational diversity can become a reservoir of skills, perspectives, strengths, and experiences that can lead your organization forward through innovation and the constant change that organizations experience.
But the challenge for managers who manage multi-generational teams is being able to manage the different perspectives, values, expectations, and experiences in a way that promotes innovation and positive outcomes. In this webinar, we will explore how to manage the generational differences and how to engage the different generations within the workplace. More specifically, we will discuss how to manage conflict in a multi-generational workforce. We will look at some of the myths that perpetuate and influence how we manage conflict and differences among generations. We will also learn some techniques and skills that will help you manage multi-generational conflict, perceptions of fairness and engagement, and how to manage the difficult conversations that may arise.
