Engaging and Motivating Across Generations in the Workforce

Generational diversity can have an impact on the way employees perform, the way they perceive the organization, the way they perceive their managers, and the way they interact with one another. Although generational differences are only one way the workforce is diverse, and although generation is only one factor affecting employees’ attitudes and behavior, you need to understand the influences, experiences, and concerns that shape your employees so that you can work well with employees of all ages and encourage them to perform at their best. During this presentation, you will gain insight into generational differences and learn practical techniques you can use to engage and motivate employees, regardless of age. Retaining top talent is imperative to business and some of the old strategies are no longer effective, depending on the generational gap that exists within your workforce.
