Generational Challenges and Opportunities

Wednesday  May 23, 2012
1:00pm - 4:30pm
Presented by: Career Growth Associates, Inc.
Learning Resource Center
4135 Washtenaw Avenue

With four generations in the workplace, differences in communication methods, work attitude, style and habits are impacting performance, relationships and overall morale. Each generation brings their own history and experiences, their values and beliefs, and a unique view of work and its role in their lives. Both individuals and organizations will be challenged to deal with these differences – which provide new insights, new knowledge and skills, and new opportunities - while dealing with the inherent conflicts these differences also represent. This class will provide a basic profile of each generation as a basis for better understanding WHY they believe and behave as they do. By applying that information to your interactions with others, you can start building better working relationships that positively impact performance.

Objectives:
•Identify the most commonly shared characteristics and traits of each generation and understand the historical factors and experiences that are the basis for them.
•Recognize the expectations, behaviors, values, attitudes and work habits that are typical for each generation –Traditionalist, Boomer, Gen X, Millennial.
•Identify the most common areas of conflict between X and Millennials and older generations (Boomers and Traditionalist) and how to resolve them.
•Identify individual actions to improve your ability to work effectively with all generations.
