Management and Leadership
Boomers, Traditionalists, Gen X’ers and Y’ers: Management Strategies for the Multigenerational Workplace 
A large percentage of the workforce (traditionalists and baby boomers) will retire in the next few years. At the same time, many younger employees will leave traditional organizations because managers don’t understand their needs.
These factors and more make recruitment, management and retention of Generation X and Y workers more important than ever. The challenge doesn’t end here, however. Many traditionalists and baby boomers will remain in the workforce, creating additional challenges for managers who lead multi-generational teams.
Values-focused leadership, management, and supervision strategies are keys to meeting these challenges. This workshop explores the differing values, beliefs, attitudes and behaviors of each generation—traditionalists, baby boomers, generation X and generation Y—as well as their preferences re: training, rewards, feedback, growth and more. It also offers strategies for adapting your management style to the varying preferences of each generation.

- Skills for communicating effectively with each generation
- Techniques for recruiting and retaining younger workers
