Overview:
Do you often shake your head in disbelief of what that other generation is thinking and why they do what they do? Whether you question the younger generation or the older folks, it first takes understanding where they are coming from in order to then better understand where they are at now.
Attend this training to learn more about how all ages can work better and happier together, how mentorship programs can be helpful, and the importance of succession planning. Diversity in the workforce comes in all forms, with multiple generational ranges leading the pack. Our age, or at least the age we act, reflects our upbringing, values, habits, experiences, preferences, passions, talents, ethics, and overall character.
Most work environments have a mix of generations working together and it takes a lot of understanding, empathy, and collaboration to meld them together to form that one big happy family that we all hope for. The differences are real and can’t be ignored so learn more about each age group and use that knowledge to the benefit of your organization’s successful collaboration. Great teamwork is possible with established mentorship programs in place, bringing different generations closer together with understanding, empathy, and cooperation. This can also contribute to the planning of successions as employees retire and move on.
Why should you Attend:
Attending this training will help you and your team grow professional skills and discover how to work towards continued success for yourself, your team, and your organization. It will help you to advance your current success, boost your chances to meet your future goals and aspirations, and to inspire others to follow your lead.
Further, this course will help your team better understand company-wide expectations of individuals and teams to achieve desired results. When workplaces incorporate these cultural principles, the work environment becomes a place to look forward to coming into with enthusiasm. If developing your skills aren’t prioritized by you or your organization, you risk individual, team, department, and organizational failure without everyone reaching their full potential.
