Session Descriptions
Understanding Today's Multi-generational Workforce
Speaker(s):
Sasja Nieukerk
The times they are a changin’. This phrase seems to be everywhere these days and the reality is that organizations, both large and small, are beginning to feel the impact of the demographic shift on their bottom line. A common question that comes with this new-found reality is what can organizations and leaders do to attract, retain and engage great talent and build great teams that are comprised of up to four different and distinct generations? This fun and interactive workshop focuses on the phenomenon of the multigenerational workforce and the ever-growing challenges that leaders and organizations face in retaining and engaging such a diverse labour force.
In this highly interactive workshop, participants will learn:
- How this demographic shift in the work force will impact their organization
- How this change came about – who was your Superman?
- About the four different generations that make up today’s labour force
- Great tips and suggestions to understand how to work with and lead each generation
- The power of great leadership and why employees don’t leave organizations - they leave their boss
- Why it is important to understand that your customers are now multigenerational
