Today, four generations inhabit our workplaces!

There's no question that disparities in age lead people to see situations differently. Today's workforce into four categories: Traditionalists, born between 1900 and 1945; Baby Boomers, born 1946 to 1964; Gen-Xers, 1965-1980; and Millennials, born after 1980.

Meet the:

• Traditionalist employees with their "heads down, onward and upward" attitude live out a work ethic shaped during the Great Depression.
• Eighty million Baby Boomers vacillate between their overwhelming need to succeed and their growing desire to slow down and enjoy life.
• Generation Xers try to prove themselves constantly yet dislike the image of being overly ambitious, disrespectful, and irreverent.
• Millennials, new to the workforce, mix savvy with social conscience and promise to further change the business landscape.

The core purpose of our work together is begin to bridge the communication, approach and understanding gaps between generations by helping people look beyond their own perspectives, especially at work.

The concept of workplace diversity has come to embrace ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, and more. Now, there is yet another arena to consider: generational differences.  According to many, employee productivity is the key to success in the new economy, and given the difficulties employers have in recruiting, training, motivating, and managing their workforce, understanding multigenerational differences in the workplace will have a huge impact in resulting in success failure.

We use practical, how-to exercises alongside examples of companies that have used generational differences to their advantage, to help you gain an understanding and chart a course for multi-generational understanding in your workplace.
