This Multigenerational Workforce online training course explores generations in the workplace, how generations connect, practical strategies to promote generational leadership, how to build community across generations in the workplace, generational differences, similarities, and how to leverage differences as strengths.
As the workplace has become more diversified, there are now five generations working with each other. One of the greatest challenges to effective collaboration within organizations today is the age range of their workers. The scenarios are expansive with five generations at work. One valuable diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) component is having groups from five age ranges now involved in the workplace. Raising the level of DE&I within teams has been shown to produce better ideas, innovation, overall team performance, and an elevated sense of belonging for team members. This course explores generations in the workplace, how generations connect, practical strategies to promote generational leadership, how to build community across generations in the workplace, generational differences, similarities, and how to leverage differences as strengths.
