Are your employees having trouble communicating across generations?

Help is on the way!

The bestselling training program, Generations, tackles the complexities of effectively working in and managing a multi-age workforce. This program provides insights and strategies that will minimize generational conflict, promote respect and strengthen communication and collaboration to make any workplace more productive.

Six thought-provoking video vignettes illustrate the most common generational issues in the workplace: 

• Assumptions based on age
• Communication styles
• Use of technology
• Work ethic and loyalty

Additional video vignettes for managers include:

- Younger manager supervising an older employee

- Leading a multi-generational team

The workshop activities will help employees understand each generation's unique characteristics and helps explore how to effectively handle miscommunications and misunderstandings that impact productivity and organizational dynamics. Employees will learn how to use the M.E.E.T. approach (Make time to discuss; Explore differences; Encourage respect; Take personal responsibility) to discuss and resolve generational differences in a way that maintains respect and productivity.
