Employer Challenges & Strategies For Managing & Motivating Multi-Generational Workforce

One of the biggest challenges for employers is to manage an employee age profile which could range from 18 to 60. It is not uncommon for young leaders and managers to take on new assignments that involve managing teams of experienced employees that have been on the job, or in the field, longer than others have. These managers may be intimidated by the years of experience these employees bring to the job, or they may feel their employees are too set in their ways and are not open to change. This has huge implications for employers in terms of managing the needs and expectations. Picture the scene. You have fresh-faced graduate working alongside a 60-year-old work colleague on the same project. These two employees work for the same employer but have very different expectations and views of the workplace.
This session is designed to equip employers and managers the tools to work more effectively with seasoned employees in a way that fosters mutual respect and helps each generation learn to leverage one another’s strengths.
