Generations at Work

Overview

Do your staff or colleagues ever look at you like you are from another planet?  Well, generationally speaking, you probably are. Sometimes the Generation Gap can seem more like a chasm, so it is important to learn how to understand, work with and bring out the best in people of all ages.

Engaging different age groups is one of the biggest challenges facing managers today. Younger employees are attracted and motivated by completely different factors than their “elders” and the multi-generation workplace requires flexibility and understanding from everyone.

If you want your team or business to thrive, you are going to have to know how to recruit, integrate, motivate and retain people of all ages in order to make the most of this dynamic mix of generations.

Results

“This course gave me lots of insights into how my staff work, how they think and why I find it hard to get through to them sometimes. I came away with lots of ideas to try, especially for coaching my staff.”

“I loved the snapshots of the different generations. I also liked the section on how to recruit and motivate younger people. As an ‘old dinosaur’, this forced me to look at things in a different perspective, and I have a whole new respect for Generation Y, even if they do speak a different language!”
