Course overview
Each new generation experiences life and work differently. New generations enter the workplace with new expectations, styles, challenges and needs. Unfortunately, many organisations fail to recognise this and are slow to adapt.
A manager or supervisor may find themselves leading team members whose working lives began before computers in the workplace and when expectations of a job-for-life were common, alongside newer staff who have never known a world without digital social media.
This training will consider how to respond to and capitalise on intergenerational diversity in order to get the best from the entire workforce and be prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.
What you'll learn
You will learn about the challenges and opportunities presented by intergenerational workforces and understand why you and your organisation may need to be flexible in your approach.
You will consider common expectations, challenges and styles associated with different workplace generations and the adaptations that may be needed to get the best from them.
You will become confident with tools and techniques to manage inter-generational talent and plan for succession.
