“Workplace Challenges – BBoomers, Gen X, Gen Y”

Background

An “age-neutral” workplace supports real communication and understanding across all ages, and builds on the unique values and strengths of each generation. Businesses that pay attention to inter-generational issues will see an impact on their bottom line in a number of areas: Corporate Culture, Recruitment, Employee Engagement, Retention, Customer Service.

Because some organisations struggle to engage and retain talented workers under the age of 30, and still more find it challenging to get these Gen Y group to achieve their best, this workshop reveals what type of business image and work environment will entice these fast-moving, and thinking, young workers, which current management practices will keep them motivated, and which incentives will keep them from defecting.

This session also explores why younger and older people don’t see eye to eye and what to do about it in the workplace. From pointers on motivating, managing and retaining younger employees to ways of preventing older managers from losing their minds, this session shows it’s possible for Baby Boomers and Gen X and Y employees to work well together!
