Diversity Event - ZAP THE GENERATIONAL GAP! Transforming, Recruiting, Retaining and Engaging Multi-Generational Teams
2023-06-20 17:00 - 19:30 | Fish & Richardson 12860 El Camino Real, Suite 400 San Diego, CA 92130, Fish & Richardson 12860 El Camino Real, Suite 400, CA, 92130
Presented by: Meagan Johnson
Having a Generational Misunderstanding is nothing new. Many of us have walked away from a multi-generational interaction with less than stellar results. We are left scratching our heads, thinking, “is this a generational issue or a personality problem?” Combined with conflicting generational information and blatant generational stereotypes, it can be a challenge to forge a new path with the multi-generational people in our lives. Now, following a global pandemic, it has become increasingly necessary to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to debunking Generational myths and truths. The truth is, the workforce, and possibly your household, spans across five generations. Each generation has experienced the pandemic through a different generational lens. On one end of the spectrum, the younger generations in the workforce, are beginning their careers during one of the largest global upheavals the world has experienced. On the other end, an entire generation, on the precipice of retirement, is learning how to conduct business in an increasingly digital environment. It can be a struggle to find the right balance between the sometimes-conflicting needs of each generation.
The program will include:
• The different generations and how their Generational Signposts shape their expectation of the workplace.
• The steps to create a generationally robust and diverse culture.
• The top generational engagement factors.
• Different recruitment techniques for the younger generations.
• How Leadership optics changes and challenges each generation.
There is no denying the pandemic upended many lives and drastically altered the workplace landscape. What did not change was humanity’s desire to connect and improve upon what has come before them. Recognizing and embracing generational diversity not only makes us empathetic to others but enables us to achieve what was previously believed unattainable.
