THE PROGRAM

Turn age diversity into a working advantage.

Generational change affects succession planning, knowledge transfer, recruiting and day-to-day management. People at different career stages bring different expectations and needs to work.

Bruce Tulgan explores these challenges, drawing on decades of workplace research, sharing true stories from real managers. With a blend of humor, insight, and concrete best-practices, Bruce helps audiences understand the generations in the workplace today – each at different life stages, with conflicting perspectives, expectations, and needs—so they can turn age diversity into a strategic advantage.

Participants will learn

  • How the generational numbers are expected to shift in the coming years.
  • How the norms and values of the workforce will continue to change.
  • What these changes mean for employers, managers, and employees.
  • How to build cooperative and mutually supportive work relationships with those of other generations.
  • How to assess and address the human capital management issues presented by generational diversity.

Techniques and best practices

  • Appreciating the attitudes and behaviors of other generations
  • Adjusting attitudes and behaviors to communicate and work more effectively with other generations
  • Focusing on common ground and shared work
  • Evaluating the team’s generational mix and planning for retention, knowledge transfer, leadership development and recruiting
