SUMMARY:Engaging and supporting an intergenerational workforce
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that by 2025\, millennials (Gen Y) and centennials (Gen X) will make up over 75% of the workforce? What will this mean for your workplace? \nThis webinar will explore how you can get the best from today’s multigenerational workforce by addressing communication\, prioritisation and staff morale. We’ll look at some of the challenges that intergenerational working can bring\, and focus on how your team can work more effectively together by understanding generational traits and their impact on team effectiveness. \nDuring our ‘Journey Through the Generations’\, you’ll learn why we associate certain traits with each generation. We’ll look at the stereotypes and challenge and debunk some of them\, with the aim of helping you understand your colleagues better. In this session\, we’ll focus on the perspectives of Gen Z in particular\, and explore how we can prepare ourselves to be better colleagues and managers to the youngest demographic in our workforce. \nThe talk is delivered by Get the Gen\, a social enterprise that helps employers across the UK to understand the value and overcome the challenges of embracing a cohesive multigenerational workforce.
