Description
For the first time in U.S. labor history, five distinct generational cohorts are working side by side: Silent/Traditionalists (1928-1945), Baby Boomers (1946-1964), Generation X (1965-1980), Millennials (1981-1996), and Generation Z (1996-2012). This session explores how generational identities shape workplace expectations, communication styles, and values. Through interactive activities and dialogue, participants will examine intergenerational dynamics and develop strategies to advance workplace communication and collaboration.
Learning Outcomes: Participants will be able to...
- Examine the defining characteristics, cultural influences, and life experiences of the five generational cohorts in today's workforce.
- Apply an understanding of generational differences to enhance motivation and collaboration.
- Identify strategies that leverage generational strengths to foster workplace belonging.
