Your Training Description

Today’s workplaces often have as many as five different generations represented in their teams. Generational diversity should be a major advantage with each differing in their defining values, work styles, communication skills, and priorities. But, without intentionality to bridge those differences, organizations are missing opportunities to increase engagement, satisfaction, productivity, and program outcomes. Gain insight about each generation at work and learn how to communicate more effectively to build an engaging workplace. Bridge generational differences to build a stronger team and improve your program outcomes.

Explore the defining values that shape each generation
Recognize invisible tensions of generational differences in the workplace
