Session #7: Generations in the Workplace

The 75 million baby boomers who make up 45 percent of the workplace are now starting to retire. Our workplace will change! We may understand and be accustomed to the beliefs and values of the baby boomers, but we now need to be able to understand the characteristics of successive generations. The difference in values and beliefs, views on authority, career goals, and work-life balance can be confusing and we may unintentionally harbor judgments and stereotypes. You will gain an overview of the four generations present in the workplace today and strategies for motivating and working with each one.
