Who is this for?
In today’s working environment, there can be up to 5 or 6 generations all working together. This can involve all sorts of new dynamics. To reap the benefits of multi-generational working we need to understand these generational differences and the myths within the stereotypes. Be aware of our own thinking around different generations and the impact it has, approach multi-generational collaboration opportunities with a mindset of collaboration and adapt with an attitude of curiosity. This reflective and practical workshop gives participants an opportunity to examine, use and dispel the stereotypes. Participants are encouraged to open up about their challenges using case studies and leave with an action plan to create a more cohesive working environment for all generations, taking advantage of the strengths of all. This workshop will benefit baby boomers through to gen Z and everyone in between. It is for anyone who would like to reduce intergenerational tension and work more collaboratively.
Course content
This reflective and practical workshop will give participants the opportunity to examine, use and dispel the stereotypes. It is for anyone who would like to reduce intergenerational tension and work more collaboratively. We are bombarded with statistics and stereotypes that seek to highlight the differences and blame each other for the difficulties we face together. Yet by working together we can achieve so much more.
We focus on why is multi-generational working difficult? How much truth is there to generational stereotypes? What does each generation bring to the table and how can we maximise it? How to overcome generational conflict. Â
