ENGAGING GENERATIONAL DIFFERENCES

Description

Presented by: Jeffery Parsons, President, IGC & Associates, Inc.
So what is all this generational talk all about? The day of a “one-size-fits-all” leadership and communication styles no longer fit with today’s workforce. Look around today’s work environment. You'll find employees with varied backgrounds, work experience, generational differences, and unique communication styles. Employers are seeking individuals who can interact (integrate) with their diverse workforce. Are you ready to manage or be managed or interviewed by individuals who communicate differently and have a different work style?
This program is dedicated to helping organizations and individuals understand generational differences and how to improve communications skills and build relationships and to prepare them for the changes and transitions within today’s workforce. Jeffrey will provide attendees an opportunity to explore the stereotypes, myths, and realities of today’s multi-generational workforce. Particular attention will be focused on how these generations communicate and their work styles. Attendees will be asked to explore from within themselves how to appropriately educate and influence their thinking around generational differences.
Outcomes

Identify the primary influences and characteristics of the four Generations
Discover each generation has a unique personality, behavior and communication style
Individuals will see an improvement in their leadership, relationship management and communication skills
Organizations will see improvement in employee engagement and retention in today’s challenging work environment
