George Orwell once said wisely, “Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.”

The concept of age diversity in the workplace has been around for a long time, but only 8% of organizations include it in their DEI efforts.

Yet nearly 65% of workers say they have experienced aged-based discrimination, and generational blaming and shaming costs organizations dearly. In fact, in 2015 alone, between 60 and 70 million dollars were spent on generational consulting.

1. Do pesky stereotypes get in the way in your organization?
2. Do employees work in and lead multigenerational teams productively?

This session will explore new ways of thinking that can change not only our perspectives, and but the way we communicate from day to day.

Never has collaboration within and among diverse teams been more important, and never has Learning and Development faced such challenges and opportunities.

Learning Take-aways: 

1. Understanding how the four main generational narratives in the workplace came about.
2. Exploring common values across generations and how they can help.
3. Strategizing to overcome stereotypes by generating practical and productive communication practices.
