TOPIC: “5 Generations @Work: Transform Your Leaders, Teams, & Culture.”

Attracting and retaining talent is repeatedly identified as one of the main worries keeping both top management and human resource leaders up at night. Workplace culture and its impact on employee engagement has re-invigorated the case for teams at work to not only improve productivity, but as a viable retention strategy in a tight labor market. Add in the dynamics of five generations in our workplaces with their inherent “sticking points,” an environment can exist that prevents inclusion and engagement. During this interactive session, we will explore the impact of multi-generational differences as they relate to teamwork and engagement in today’s workplaces, as well as strategies for their use at your organization.
